Star Gazing

If people sat outside and looked at the stars each night, I bet they'd live life a lot differently.  Bill Waterson        

Give yourself the gift of 5 minutes (more is preferable but some of us need baby steps) each day to sit in silence and take in the wonder of Creation.  I think we all would be amazed at how our perspectives shift, how we feel our lives taking a deep breath, and how well we sleep in preparation for the next gifted day.

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
