SUNDAY INSPIRATION: We all have difficulty getting others to understand... about our allergies, our celiac, our immune issues.... our dietary needs, and well, sometimes, simply who we are outside of all of that mess.  No matter how hard I try, however, to get someone to understand me, I realize that a lot of that pain goes away when I just accept myself, accept the fact that they don't understand, and give them some space so that someday they can.

~Elisabeth Veltman

“I don't know what it is about food your mother makes for you, especially when it's something that anyone can make - pancakes, meat loaf, tuna salad - but it carries a certain taste of memory.”
 

~ Mitch Albom

“It is very frustrating not to be understood in this world. If you say one thing and keep being told that you mean something else, it can make you want to scream. But somewhere in the world there is a place for all of us, whether you are an electric form of decoration, peppermint-scented sweet, a source of timber, or a potato pancake.”

~ Lemony Snicket, The Latke Who Couldn't Stop Screaming: A Christmas Story

“For me, listening is the most important thing: to listen to each other, to listen to what people say, to listen to music.” -

~ Claudio Abbado

“No man is lonely while eating spaghetti:
it requires so much attention.”
