What Will Be, Will Be

Qué será, será; what will be, will be. This proverb or expression many know. It means if you are living with regrets, for heaven’s sake, just let those feelings go. There’s no use crying over milk that’s spilled. (that’s another goodie for what I mean). Take the bull by the horns and Giddy up! Be an adult. You are not still thirteen. Qué será, será. What will be will be. This also means fate is a giant thing. So important is this saying there’s a song for it, which Doris Day was first to sing. How interesting the date the song was published. It was my birth year, nineteen-fifty-five. Maybe that’s why I find it appealing. Decades later, the song and I both thrive. A fatalist am I, so I believe quite strongly there are things we can’t control. For all the good we do, bad still can happen. You’re on a roll; next day you’re in a hole. Chin up; keep on going long as you can. Struck down? Just smile and sing your cares away. With qué será and what will be, will be great sayings just keep coming into play!
