Caturday: Stress-free

in #caturday5 years ago (edited)

It’s #caturday again and time for #dailypetphotography sponsored by @kona.

My two cats, Red and Sunday, are having a leisurely Caturday in front of the wood fire.

Cats and other pets can teach us a lot about living stress-free. Once they have their hunger satisfied and a warm place to lay down they are happy as clams.

How many of us can say our life is stress-free?

A little stress is good but to become overanixous and upset over little things is not a good place to be.

Sometimes it is a medical problem where your are tired or your potassium is low.

Potassium deficiency has been known to cause muscle fatigue, mood disturbances, as well as symptoms related to depression.

I’m certainly not in a medical field but had an aunt who no one could live with if she didn’t take her potassium pill. She would rip the head right off ya no matter what you said and someone would tell her to chill and take a pill.

When I think of foods rich in potassium, bananas comes to mind but many fresh fruits, dried fruit such as raisins, dates, and vegetables are good to raise your potassium level.

These bananas do not look appetizing but overripe bananas are rich in antioxidants. No matter, I will peel them and freeze them to use later in banana bread.

Don’t forget spinach and broccoli are also included in the high in potassium foods.

My dear Steemians, it’s Caturday and I hope your day is stress-free. If not..try thinking like a cat. 😻.

Happy Caturday, my dear!
Cats are definitely stress-free creatures. This is why I always dreamed about being a cat. And because they can eat as much as they want not worrying about their appearence. After all, a fat cat is so cute. 🙂

As long as you are healthy Roxy don’t stress about weight. Sometimes one needs that extra padding. Fat cats are cute. I’m not saying don’t look after yourself but be happy dear friend. ❤️

Luckily I've been blessed with good health. I won't stress too much about weight starting with February. You know that the first month of the year is dedicated to resolutions but then we get bored. 😂

I do live my Life pretty Stress free. The Thing to is that i want what Cats want: Food and Shelter. Those Things kost Money and that is what i stress about the most. As a young Artist it is quite hard to survive out here ^^'

Thanks for stopping by Sabrina @aleysabrina and a warm welcome to Steemit. I got a chuckle out of “I want what Cats want.’ I will check out your page.

Your cats look lovely and warm (and stress-free) beside the fire! U+R :)
Hope you are enjoying your weekend!

Much appreciated Keith. Thanks, I’m having a relaxing stress-free weekend. 😊

howdy redheadpei! ha! look at those cats! they have it made. I had no idea that a lack of potassium could make you into a monster but it must be true! I eat alot of bananas, no problem here! dang, that fireplace and wood floor look great.

Hi there Cowboy. The cats sure love the heat of the wood.
It’s amazing how lack of certain nutrients cause irritability plus other symptoms.
Thanks , glad you like the floor and fireplace.

Howdy redheadpei! I like the cats too. lol. And the Bluejays that come for breakfast. Where do you guys store your firewood, just against the house?

Good evening Cowboy. Hope you had a good Sunday.
About the wood...Hubs has a building behind the house where the seasoned wood for the winter is stored out of the elements. From there he brings enough in the garage (attached to house) for about a week at a time. Close enough it can be brought to the fireplace when needed.

Oh very good, thanks redheadpei! And you guys buy it ready to burn or does it need to dry out in the other building for awhile?

It’s kind of a hit and miss. Usually it is pretty dry when ordered but gets better for burning after a few months more. Buy in spring and by wintertime it is good for burning. It you burn wood while green it smokes and doesn’t give off the heat.
Probably the tree you cut down would be good in a year for burning.

Howdy redheadpei! That's what I've heard too, about the time to dry out. Well you guys have a good system.
