Que sera sera
Today, @simplymike asked the question, "Which wise quote would you send yourself?" See the post and participate for a chance to win some Steem Bounty.
I thought of Doris Day, who passed away today at the age of 97, and the wisdom in the song she was perhaps best known for: "Que sera sera." It's such a great thought to embrace when life feels overwhelming, when the weight of the world is on your shoulders, or you're worried about what the future will bring.
If you've never heard the song, you must; it's a classic! And so uplifting. Here's the YouTube link.
In honor of Doris Day, and the number of times over the years that song has reminded me not to take things too seriously or to fret about the things beyond my control, I created this little word art:
And finally, here are the song lyrics:
When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother, what will I be
Will I be pretty
Will I be rich
Here's what she said to me
Que será, será
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que será, será
What will be, will be
When I grew up and fell in love
I asked my sweetheart, what lies ahead
Will we have rainbows
Day after day
Here's what my sweetheart said
Que será, será
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que será, será
What will be, will be
Now I have children of my own
They ask their mother, what will I be
Will I be handsome
Will I be rich
I tell them tenderly
Que será, será
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que será, será
What will be, will be
Que será, será

Que sera sera... lol, I've known that song since i was a little kid. It is a feat way to look at life. Unfortunately, that's one of the things I still need to work on :0)
