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

Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.

Sometimes we think “the grass is always greener” on the other side,but when we get over there it turns out to be astroturf!

I just tried this recipe and the chicken looks great!!! I am not feeling well today and I wanted to prepare fried chicken for my family’s dinner. This recipe was perfect. I could rest while the chicken fried in the oven.
Oh, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person: having neither to weight thoughts nor measure words, but to pour them out. Just as they are — chaff and grain together, knowing that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is work keeping, and then with the breath of kindness, blow the rest away. Dinah Maria (Mulock) Craik, 1826-1887
