These strawberries are perfectly ripe. Yesterday they were the tiniest bit green and tomorrow they will start to bruise or shrivel. They will only be perfectly firm, perfectly sweet, if you eat them today.
What will you seize on to enjoy today, knowing that tomorrow may be too late?
I seize the opportunity to just “up and go” when a friend or acquaintance calls and says, “Can you go (now) or (at 6 o’clock?)” If I can, I “choose the day”; I don’t mind last minute opportunities that come along because sometimes they are the most surprising, interesting events that I attend!
