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,

My mom worked at Shoneys for 12 years until they closed.She was a prep cook and would often dazzle us with her” bananas in red stuff at barbecues, any special occasion, i was always asking her to make it!! She never told the recipe and then she passed away 5 years ago and you made me laugh out loud cause Ive been trying to find this recipe for the last 5 years!! You made my year!! Words cannot express…Thank You so much. This very simple dessert just tastes like home to me:) The reason for laughing? the very puzzled look on people face when i would say You know it was on the breakfast bar? ..I dont know the name!! We always called it bananas in red sauce!! Lol thanks again.

Don’t compare your life to others. There’s no comparison between the Sun and the moon. They each shine when it’s their time.
