#TheEnd



Every time I start a 365 I wonder if I'll see it through, get tired of it, and if people will start virtually throwing rotten tomatoes at me for clogging up their news feed with my weird 365 experiments.

But here we are. Or at least I am here. 365 hashtags later.

My favorite hashtag topics of the past year were the travel themed ones, the spreading sunshine to others ones, and the thought-provoking ones. I'm curious, were there any hashtag topics you liked? Hated? It's okay if you hated one, or two, or more. A couple of them I struggled with myself.

Did you try to practice or celebrate any of the hashtags? I held a Sunshine Party in February for friends, did a Service Sunday project in November (I also drank some wine in November *wink*), had some tasty sweets and drinks in May, and I went meatless during July Mondays.

As always happens when I pull together a 365, I learned. Even in the seemingly silly topics I still learned useful or interesting information and facts. I stored away a lot of ideas for future gatherings and projects and goals.



Do you have an idea for a future 365 installment? Pass it on to me and I'll consider it. I'd love to hear what you think would make a great focus for a full year of life!

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment. 

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment. 

More bang for your buck

This phrase was used a lot in 1953 but an earlier citation puts it at 1940 in a Metals and Plastics Publications advertisement. Read about it here . The phrase means you get more for your money.
