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

I was one of three retail managers over 16 stores. One of my jobs was teaching “exceptional customer service”. This is one of many “Quotes” I had plastered on my office walls and I instilled this method in my teachings.
“The Power of Kindness”
It’s easy to act with kindness and understanding toward those who have been kind to you. Yet the real power of kindness comes when you give it even to those who don’t deserve it.
Acting wth cruelty in response to cruelty only drags down everyone involved. With kindness, you have the opportunity to lift up yourself and others. Being kind does not mean allowing others to take advantage of you. On the contrary,your kindness can give you the positive, undeniable power to make sure that everyone’s interests are served.
Yes, there are those who will not respond well to your kindness. Act toward them with kindness and understanding anyway,and even though they won’t benefit from your kindness, you still will.
Think of your kindness toward others as a valuable gift you mainly give to yourself. If anyone else is enlightened enough to accept and appreciate it too, that makes it even better!!!!!!

Speaking of bacon in anything is a good thing~~~ I made chocolate bark with crispy bacon pieces folded in the melted choclate and spread it on a parchment lined cookie sheet, let it cool and broke it in pieces. Talk about tasty!!!!!!! 🙂
