Give A Penny, Get A Penny
Give A Penny, Get A Penny
Most gas stations in the South have little change dishes by the register. If you’re paying for a transaction and need an extra penny or two, you simply take one from the dish. People then reciprocate this good turn by dropping a few coins in the dish from time to time, thereby creating a community bank of sorts, based on goodwill.
So in that spirit, this is Southern Plate’s “Give A Penny, Get A Penny” page.” I dearly love positive quotes and am always scouring the web for more so I thought this would be a great place to compile all of those. I’ll post mine, you post yours, and we can all “Give A Penny” when we have one and come back to “Get A Penny” when we need one.
I’ll also draw from these quotes to include at the bottom of my posts and emails that I send out to Southern Plate readers and be sure to credit the person who provided it, so include a link to your blog if you have one.
I would consider it a personal favor if you’d take the time to share a quote of motivation or positivity in the comments section below. Quote yourself, your Mama, someone famous, or our best friend “Anonymous”, it doesn’t matter, long as you drop your penny and then come back on one of those days when you feel like you might need one yourself.
Gratefully,
Christy

Every Day Above Ground… Is A Good Day! I’m not sure who wrote it or where I got it from but when I saw it I had to print it out and attach it to my monitor at work. Now if I start to get down for any reason I just look up, read it and move on in a much better state of mind.
Jean T: Indeed it is a good day!! I’ve also always been told, “At the least “we” woke up, on the RIGHT side of the dirt, too!!” tee-he!!
G, Day and Blessings~

This is where all help, relief comes from.
“You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never truly live if you are forever looking for the meaning of life.” – Albert Camus
“I follow the catch and release principle when fishing. From now on I will treat life’s challenges the same way – catch what inspires me and builds me up and release that which is negative and try everyday to remember and treasure the exitement I experience when catcing even the smallest fish.” – Ansi (commenter on 9 Things You Do NOT Need to Be Happy WRITTEN BY: MARC CHERNOFF)
Follow and release is good in theory, however from the Biblical aspect, and it’s in there . . . “One can tell a tree by the fruit it bears,” is and even better principle for “life!”

This one is so very TRUE. . . as a child, I’m well into my latter 50s now, I can many times remember hearing folks say, “well they just spoiled and loved that child far too much,” to which my dearly departed Mother would simply reply,” Oh . . . I NEVER knew there was a way to LOVE a child too much, did you?”
Ha Ha, and Blessings~
