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
Always give more than you would ever take.
and
Life is too short to wake up with regrets.
Love the people who treat you right.
Forget about the ones who don’t.
Believe everything happens for a reason.
If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands.
If it changes your life, let it.
Nobody said life would be easy.
They just promised it would be worth it.
My quote for the day:

but that’s not why ships are built.
Christy,
Do you have your granddaddy’s favorite stew bowl? It matches one of your casserole dishes, the Friendship one. Beautiful.
Love this recipe.
If you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot in the end and
hang on.
Christy,
I’ve been making muscadine jelly today and I used the hulls to make a filling for fried pies like my late mother did, except I used a can of crescent rolls and filled them with the hulll mixture. I cooked the hulls down, mashed them up, added butter and sugar. Sure were good! Try it!
My late mother-in-law’s favorite saying was “It’s a long road that has no turn.”
Recently lost my son in a tragic accident. This quote came to mind very shortly thereafter.
“Please don’t drink and be behind the wheel, not another life this addiction should steal.”
Success comes in cans, not cant’s
