#8 Filling my basket

While living in France, I would take a daily jaunt with my wicker basket to the various shops to pick up what was needed to make that day's meals.  People there typically don't run to a Costco-like stadium to fill up on enough food to feed a small nation.  They buy what is needed for the day.  Yesterday, while at the Farmer's Market, I saw these beautiful baskets and I got to thinking about my time in France and how the daily ritual of buying fresh local food, preparing it and then sharing it with our loved ones is such a simple and beautiful act.  The problem is that so many of us overflow our baskets with so much other "stuff" that we don't make room for what truly nourishes us.
