As naughty as cats can be—like jumping on the counter when they know they shouldn’t be up there in the first place 
—there sure are a lot of life lessons to be learned from them as well.
Lesson #1: Take the time to look around you. Enjoy those simple, every day things that make you smile.
Lesson #2: Give your body the rest that it needs.
Lesson #3: Take time to be alone once in a while. Find a comfy spot and enjoy the peace and quiet.
Lesson #4: Embrace those things that make you stand out. Those things that make you unique. Those things that make you you!
Lesson #5: Stretch often.
Lesson #6: Eat plenty of fatty fish.
I cracked open a can of sardines for the kitties tonight and decided to do the same for me. 
Keeping it simple with sauteed cabbage and mustard.
Sardines get such a bad rap for being stinky and slimy, but I seriously love them. If you’re on the fence about cracking open a can, try adding some texture to the meal. Sometimes I’ll dunk the little fish in whole wheat flour and toss them in a frying pan with a bit of butter, thereby creating a crispy coating. OR, you could simply toast a slice of whole wheat bread, slather on some really good, spicy mustard and call it a meal.
Question: What is it that makes you unique and different and how do you feel about it? I have a red scar that I used to always feel super self conscious about! I even had a doctor try to remove it when I was smaller. But now I love it because it makes me different, and I’m not afraid to show it off. 
I feel like having a food blog and being a cook makes me pretty darn unique. I do get a little self conscious when I first tell people about it or even talking about it w/ friends and family. But everyone I cook for loves it so I figure that counts for something
That picture of your kitty on the microwave is adorable!
I used to hate how small I am (5 feet tall!) but I’ve learned to love it. It’s part of what makes me feel like me!
I think my personality makes me unique. There isn’t another me out there and I love it
Sardines with hot dijon mustard. Mmmmm
Look at those paws! Love all the photos. You really have a talent. I have an 8″ scar down my left arm–brutal snowboarding accident. Fun post!
Im not sure what makes me unique, em, ill have to think about that. But I read your post with my cat sitting beside me and its made me look at him in a different, perhaps, jealous? light! lol. Cats have a great life!

Nice question – I do like your blog btw!
) that I inherited from my grandma 
) and then well we are all unique, our personality is unique 
To answer the question – what’s unique about me – physically I think that’s my longer nose
My eyes are two different colours
It’s really subtle now as they are just different shades of hazel, but one used to be green and one used to be blue.

I have a scar on my head from skin cancer surgery that I’m proud of b/c I can spread the word on prevention and skin care when asked about it!!
Great post!
Awwww this is too cute!! I LOVE kitties! I have two beautiful ones.
I definitely take after them in the nap department. 
lol I’d say what makes me unique is that I’m an identical twin. 
Cute post! I love the picture of the cat behind the microwave, LOL. My cat likes to get behind the computer desk, or under the Christmas tree in December.
I love sardines, thanks to Kath! They really do get a bad rep – so delicious!
Aww,kitties! I always think what good “relaxers” they are – I need to take a note and relax like my cat more often.
I like to lay the harmonica – which I think is pretty unique. I actually played it in a talent show my senior year…haha, everyone loved it!
Those are great photos – I like the first one the most.
I used to teach outdoor education, and I think the skills I learned – like belaying on ropes courses, and teaching people to canoe and kayak – are pretty unusual. They’re also a lot of fun!
I’ve always been tall (5′ 11.5″ to be exact!) and I think that makes me unique. It also makes buying pants that are long enough difficult. I’m willing to live with that though!
I can’t wait to see the kitties!!! LOVED this post!!
OMG this post is AWESOME. I looooove cats, and I do think they teach us a lot
I have these little chicken pox scars on my forehead that I hated for so long, but my husband says he thinks they are cute! Now I appreciate them because I see them differently.
