Some people have baskets in their homes for useful purposes, like storage. Others display pretty linens or even books in their baskets.
Around here one has to be pretty quick in order to make use of the baskets we've collected over the years, otherwise one of the resident opportunists will take advantage of an empty basket whenever he or she can!

I'm working on my computer, in safe mode, and I'm really hoping this post actually gets published. I was surprised that I was able to get the RAW image to upload to my computer, in it's current disabled state, but alas, I did. I asked a friend to convert the image to JPG for me and then I was able to upload it out here. I have problems using Chrome and TypePad at the same time and am crossing my fingers - well once I remove them from the keyboard, I will, that this posts.
I do have a really long post that I'm working on for tomorrow morning. I was hoping I'd be done with it tonight, but between trying to fact check everything and temper my anger, it's been a very drawn out process. Those of you who are friends of mine on Facebook will know what I'm talking about. I really dislike seeing people taken advantage of all in the name of trying to live a healthier life. As much as I abhor any kind of dissension in the blogging community, I'm no stranger to being a very vocal proponent when it comes to being your own best advocate, cheerleader and most importantly, your own best healer. I refuse to sit by and watch people potentially be manipulated because their desire to grasp onto some form of hope, leads them to emotionally react, and then spend money based on someone offering them what isn't so much hope in pill/liquid form, but good ol' fashioned snake oil!
More on all of that, tomorrow!
Until then, take a look in the mirror. Smile and say "I love you!" That right there is the only key you need to taking your life back. That's the only magic that exists in this world...the power you hold within yourself to take control of your life. That power is YOU!
I'll repeat it again tomorrow in case you didn't get it this time around!
