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

Two friends of my mother were visiting and as I walked into the room at a very young age, one
whispered to the other in spelling, “She isn’t very P R E T T Y is she? I replied, “Maybe not, but
I’m very S M A R T,” I spelled back.
If there were some insignificant flaw in some everyday living, like a space not dusted, or a
window not really dirty enough to be washed. my mother used to say……..
“Forget it. A dumb one won’t notice it and a smart one won’t say anything”.

Every time something new and inventive would come along my dad would say he was born 40 years too soon. Now in my 70’s I understand just what he meant.
