Brand New Day

It's a brand new day.  Aren't you glad that we get new days?  Like literally!  And figuratively!  In Lamentations it says that his compassions and mercies are new every morning!  Yippee!! 
I picked this song for two reasons. 
1)  I needed the reminder today that it's a brand new day.  Like I've said before, poor Mondays.  They get such a bad rap.  It's unfortunate that I happened to wake up today, on a Monday, out of sorts.  It's not Monday's fault but it sure would be easy to blame Monday!  :)  The only part of today's song that applies to this reason is, "I can hear you say it's a brand new day."  Actually considering how my day is going I really need that message tomorrow as well in hopes tomorrow doesn't repeat today!  Ha! 
2)  I'm still emerging from my "losing streak" that hit me so hard I haven't been able to speak from the past couple of years.  And I have often needed the reminder from God that it's a brand new day and his compassions and mercies are fresh for me every morning.  Yet in the dark days I always had the light of God within me bringing assurance, glimmers of hope, etc.  And in all the dark he showed me who I am, I mean who I really and truly am in his sight.  And each day that I live as he sees me is a brand new day indeed!

One Day Without Shoes Day Today is to raise global awareness for children’s health and education.  Why shoes? Because shoes help protect from bacteria in the dirt, rusty nails, dirty needles and shoes enable feet to withstand the long distances most children in developing countries need to walk to get to school. Join TOMS One for One There is plenty of criticism out there for TOMS and its short term solutions. Critics don't even buy the "at least they are doing something" statement.  However, you have to start somewhere. And every bit of awareness helps something go from short term to long term.  We all have a part to play. Read a Road Map Day One of the many reasons I would stink at The Amazing Race is because I never did learn how to read a road map well.  I remember doing worksheets and class lessons on maps and I was able to skate by ...

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.

A dime a dozen

"It's said that in the year 1796, the first U.S. dimes were produced for circulation. Hence, it would make sense for this phrase to originate sometime after." Read more here .  Today the phrase carries the meaning that something is cheap or without value if it can be lumped in with other similar or exactly-like things. It's more of an insult than anything.
