My friend Carolyn, who had a hit a few decades ago (my how time flies) with a song called “Seize The Day,” posted the image above. Apparently it has been floating around the internet for a while and people keep sending it to her.

I too have days when I realize it was probably a mistake to sally forth to tilt at windmills. Instead of seizing the day I should have abandoned it to itself and gone back to bed.

Of course, by the time I come to that realization the day is at least half over, so I Just push on, abandoning the Latin carpe deum, or “seize the day,” for another Latin phrase, Illegitimi non carborundum.

I’ll let you look up that one. While you do, here’s Carolyn seizing the day.
