I used to despise this saying, actually I would cringe when ever anyone would say it. Mostly because of the story that I had attached to it. This saying was used "at me" to explain why I was being cut off from my sisters after the passing of my mother. - Ouch. Grief has a way of making what should bring you closer - pull you apart further. These days though, I find myself saying this quite often. and even when discussing my sisters recently I found myself shrugging and saying "it is what it is" but in a completely different more free and more open way. One thing that I have come to realise is that you can't "make" people like you, love you or even connect with you - even if they are 'family'. My hubby Scott sent me this yesterday and I thought you know - this is so right! https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1DUHQUxR9b/ So what does the term "it is what it is" mean to you? I would love to hear your thoughts.
