Take Advantage

     When a sunny day
        comes your way 
     Do take advantage  

     Doesn’t matter how
        Do it now
     To wait is to mismanage 

      Make it a habit
         you never break
       Smell a flower; spot a rabbit
         You only live once, for heaven’s sake

Oh I was whirligigging with this Autumnal sight! I think it’s the best one we’ve ever had since moving to Georgia. The weather has just improved so! As for the spotted rabbit ;)

I agree...with winter approaching, sunny days will be hard to come by...been balmy here in Texas with lots of sunshine.....I've walked every morning to take advantage of the warmth

Hi Gershon, the weather was mild and sunny here today so I stayed in the backyard from 11 a.m. till 4:30 in the afternoon. Lots of birds and planes, quite an air show. Love this poem. Have a Shabbat Shalom :)
