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
There is only one person you have to live with for the rest of your life. Having someone you cannot live without, that my friend, is what you call a blessing.
I love, love love, this quote

Choose your words with good taste, because one day you may have to eat them. 😉
Hey Christy! Here’s my contribution, straight from my Mama to you:
God don’t like ugly!
Can’t never could and should never would, but can did do.
(It took me a bit when I was younger to get the second one down, but now I love chirping that to my nieces when they can’t figure something out.)
Thank you for brightening my days!

If we all lived by this quote we would all be better off in this world.
