#SelfieSaturday



Because this is how I look when I take a selfie, I thought I would use #SelfieSaturday as a chance to let you in on some tidbits about me and ask about tidbits of you! A twist on selfies!

So today my selfie share is about lighthouses. I am a *secret* fan of lighthouses. I'm not sure I paid much attention to them until a number of years ago when a 'word' was spoken over me/about me that had to do with lighthouses.

I thought about what was said to me about me, I prayed about it, I asked God to confirm it or not. And then I just went on. Throughout the years the lighthouse has popped up in my life time and time again. And it's confirmed to me time and time again - the similarities between the purpose of a lighthouse and myself.

I've done some in-depth research on lighthouses - once for a report, and just for fun (I'm a lover of learning). They are fascinating parts of seafaring history. I was going to include a picture or two of lighthouses BUT I couldn't pick just one or two. I love them all. So here's the link to my Lighthouses Pinterest board, it is lighthouses from all over the world. I would love to do a world tour of lighthouses - bucket list item. *grin*


What's something that is meaningful to you and is perhaps a *secret* from most people?

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.

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.
