Day 27: Sleep

Sleep is wonderful.  I appreciate it when I get enough of it and I miss it when I am not getting enough. What happens while we sleep is amazing.  Our bodies are designed to heal, revive, and replenish during sleep.  It is an important part of keeping healthy, both physically and emotionally.  Lack of sleep will impair our ability to function well and we can eventually become ill from not getting the proper amount of it.  I am so grateful for the wisdom that went into creating our bodies to need sleep so that we could function in optimal ways.

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.
