Day 36: Blue Skies

Seriously.  I can't seem to get here daily which is weird since this is my THIRD 365.  {Sigh}

I love a big blue sky.  And when I look up at the big blue sky I feel grateful for little things, things that I usually can't even find a name for.  Perhaps it is that I feel grateful for a new day.  For a new day to breathe deep, for a new day to try again, for a new day to grow more into who I really am, for a new day to share a smile with someone who needs it more than I, for a new day to help ease a burden.  Yes, blue skies give me hope for the day and I feel grateful for new days and new mercies.

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.
