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

Grandchildren are God’s gift for not killing our children…in light of that, we always enjoy a good movie with our 9 year old granddaughter. PawPaw makes popcorn & we get to relax on Saturday night with one of God’s most precious gifts!
I have never been to this Inn before, can barely remember last vacation, too many grandchildren and one greatgrandchild that we are watching now. We want to leave lastin, loving, fun memories. we enjoyed the movie blindside, it was very moving.
My dad used to say this one.
“That is as easy as fat meat is greasy.”
Sounds really southern, right?
