HISTORY OF DON’T CRY OVER SPILLED MILK DAY
” Don’t cry over spilled milk” is the contemporary version of the idiom, “No weeping for shed milk,” initially published in 1659 in “Paramoigraphy”– a book of proverbs by Welsh historian and author James Howell. Proverbs are wise sayings using sage suggestions and moral assistance for living life well, however not all idioms are sayings. An example of another idiom is, “Feeling under the weather,” which indicates sensation unwell.
We will never understand just how many glasses of milk James Howell saw spilled out and cried over before he was motivated to use all those untidy little occurrences to pen his sage guidance. But we can guess it was typically adequate for him to observe that nothing is ever gained by worrying and stressing over minor events like spilling a glass of milk and the small problems that undoubtedly happen simply in the course of each day. Stressing and regrets don’t change the truth that something took place; looking back and feeling unfortunate, depressed, or upset can never ever change anything. The best thing to do when we spill milk or make messes in our lives is to tidy up the mess right now, the best we can, and after that not lose time dwelling on them or worrying about them.

By the year 1738, Howell’s idiom had progressed, as language does, and was rephrased as, “‘T is a folly to cry for spilled milk,” in a witty essay on good manners and making small talk, entitled, “Respectful Discussion” by Irish author, satirist, and clergyman Jonathan Swift. Today, we state “Don’t cry over spilled milk.” Although the syntaxes and words have actually changed over centuries and generations, Howell’s sage guidance has not only stood the test of time, but it might be more pertinent today than when it was first published more than 300 years ago.
Continuing to keep the past does not alter anything about the past. However a lot of us do simply that, declining to let and go live and proceed with life after making a mess of some aspect of it. So perhaps a Don’t Cry Over Spilled Milk Day on the calendar isn’t so silly after all. We can all use a tip to show and stop briefly on how well we are adapting and changing to life’s little interruptions and make certain we are not bring any regrets as baggage along our method.
