#SummerSundays




Is January getting to you? Not just the literal January but the figurative one? The cold, the letdown after the holidays, the tedious rhythm to the days. If so, take a moment today to think about summer and what you love about it (assuming you do). Is what you love about summer something that can be translated into the winter? Perhaps summer is there in you after all and the cold of winter made you forget it. Take today to draw it back out, to find it again within you. Maybe your January hasn't arrived yet, keep in mind when it does that you hold summer within you - your soul remembers summer and will hold it for you. 

How can you celebrate summer - in the midst of this winter day? 
How do you recall summer in your soul when winter is chilling it?

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.

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.
