#TheEnd



Every time I start a 365 I wonder if I'll see it through, get tired of it, and if people will start virtually throwing rotten tomatoes at me for clogging up their news feed with my weird 365 experiments.

But here we are. Or at least I am here. 365 hashtags later.

My favorite hashtag topics of the past year were the travel themed ones, the spreading sunshine to others ones, and the thought-provoking ones. I'm curious, were there any hashtag topics you liked? Hated? It's okay if you hated one, or two, or more. A couple of them I struggled with myself.

Did you try to practice or celebrate any of the hashtags? I held a Sunshine Party in February for friends, did a Service Sunday project in November (I also drank some wine in November *wink*), had some tasty sweets and drinks in May, and I went meatless during July Mondays.

As always happens when I pull together a 365, I learned. Even in the seemingly silly topics I still learned useful or interesting information and facts. I stored away a lot of ideas for future gatherings and projects and goals.



Do you have an idea for a future 365 installment? Pass it on to me and I'll consider it. I'd love to hear what you think would make a great focus for a full year of life!

Join TOMS One for One There is plenty of criticism out there for TOMS and its short term solutions. Critics don't even buy the "at least they are doing something" statement.  However, you have to start somewhere. And every bit of awareness helps something go from short term to long term.  We all have a part to play. Read a Road Map Day One of the many reasons I would stink at The Amazing Race is because I never did learn how to read a road map well.  I remember doing worksheets and class lessons on maps and I was able to skate by ...

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.

A dime a dozen

"It's said that in the year 1796, the first U.S. dimes were produced for circulation. Hence, it would make sense for this phrase to originate sometime after." Read more here .  Today the phrase carries the meaning that something is cheap or without value if it can be lumped in with other similar or exactly-like things. It's more of an insult than anything.
