National Don’t Cry Over Spilled Milk Day

Don't Cry Over Spilled Milk Day, on February 11th, promotes a positive attitude even though it isn't going your way. It's a day for enjoying the bright side of life and then carrying the feeling with you every day. Do not be concerned, and do not be concerned about the little things. Life is too short to allow the little things to bother us..

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

Most people are aware that unexpected or unplanned events happen in life, often daily. Life is much brighter and simpler with a positive attitude..

Have a contingency plan in case. These come in especially handy for big events. We're talking about surprise parties or a wedding.
