#SummerSundays



"Who cares if it's raining or cold. Wear your flip flops and have some fun!" (unknown)

Sometimes you just have to defy the reality of the moment and make your own. For example, is it snowing or sleeting or cold raining wherever you are at today? Well who cares! Bring some summer into your day. Maybe you have access to an indoor pool, or a sauna - go make some summer for yourself and your family. Or maybe you can just make summer in your home - lay out beach towels, have everyone change into swimsuits and flip flops and have some icy treats. Maybe watch a movie that features summer weather. What about getting a pedi and using a bright summer color on your toes to be a reminder that summer is right there with you - as long as you keep it near. The whole point is that seasons come and go but it's our choice to keep them with us no matter what.

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.
