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
Thought for the Day
It’s our conscience, not our mattress that has the most to do with
our sleep.~ author unknown
Every morning you are handed 24 golden hours. They are one of the few things in this world that you get free of charge. If you had all the money in the world, you couldn’t buy an extra hour. What will you do with this priceless treasure?

Like all of us in this storm between birth and death, I can wreak no great changes on the world, only small changes for the better, I hope, in the lives of those I love.~Dean Koontz
Here a just a few of my favorite quotes.
When you dance, your purpose is not to get to a certain place on the floor. It’s to enjoy each step along the way.
Wayne Dyer
That heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences. Unknown
Seed Thoughts
The mind is a garden
Where seed thoughts grow.
The thoughts that we think
Are the seeds that we sow.
We must watch what we think
The livelong day.
And pull out the weed thoughts
And throw them away.
And plant loving thoughts
So thick in a row.
There will be no room
For weed thoughts to grow.
Ada Schlabach

Lovely-touches on my gardening spirit!
Of all the music that reached farthest
into Heaven, it is the beating of a
loving heart.
Love is not a matter of counting the years;
it’s making the years count.
I love all of the sayings, and quotes, that I have read.
Thanks to everyone for joining in.
From my friend, Pam, on Facebook:
Each day we are confronted by people who harass us or by challenges that will be either stumbling blocks or stepping stones depending on our response to them.
