Seize the Day

David P Cronk

There's those who do, those who don't, those who will, and those who won't.
Those who choose to waste away, and those who live to seize the day.

    Carpe Diem, a great saying, I did a lot of cross country cycling like a 100 miles in a day or more ! My fellow cyclist had that saying on his bike and it fit the moment like a glove fits on your hand !
    Make your memories count by seizing the day !
