National Don’t Cry Over Spilled Milk Day

Even when life isn't going your way, Don't Cry Over Spilled Milk Day promotes a positive attitude on February 11th. It's a day for celebrating the positive aspects of life and then carrying the same feeling with you every day after. Do not be concerned and do not be concerned with the little things. Life is too short to allow the little things to bother us.

The proverb "No weeping for shed milk," as used by James Howell in 1659. The saying has changed over time, but it still holds its original intent. There is no reforming what has been done, and protesting about it serves no purpose.

Everybody knows that unexpected or unplanned events happen in life, often daily. Life is much brighter and simpler with a positive attitude.

  • Don't be concerned about spilled milk.
  • Be prepared! We often do not study, prepare, or organize our day, so the activities that happen are not related to our day. While not every detail should be planned, the day's general stuff does
  • Prepare for the unexpected.. People are born or do something we do, things happen. No matter who we are or what we do, things happen. Kids get sick. Parents get sick. Customers make special requests. In front of you, a car pulls out. The server brings the wrong dish. You take the wrong turn. You take the wrong direction. If you adjust and press on, it will only be a blip on your day
  • Always have a back-up plan. These are especially useful for big events. We're talking about surprise parties or a wedding. In the end, the good memories we make are what's really important about special occasions. It won't matter if a little milk should fall, spill, or spill, while everyone laughs, dances, and smiles, it won't matter
  • Breathe is a fictional character from Breathe. Ask yourself, Does this issue matter in a day? If the answer is no, then it's just a little spilled milk. How about a week? Is it still a no? It's still just spilled milk.. If the issue does't change the entire course of your life, it's just spilled milk'
  • Share how you cope with life's twists and turns.. To post on social media, use the hashtag #DontCryOverSpilledMilkDay hashtag
