Let these Appetizers quotes help you to have a positive attitude toward life, and to think positively.
I am trying to own my own opinions
and offer what I know as an option,
just as I would present a tray of appetizers for my guests.

When I ask the question, it means waiting
for the invitation to share.
It also means being prepared for my friend to say,
"No." They don't want to know.
