wander aimlessly then and wait for adventure to find you, remembering the adage of the Cheshire Cat: '"if you don't know where you're going, any road will get you there" (thanks to @Milktoast Bandit 's cute cat, Moe, for reminding me of that recently) =)
if life gives you a flurry of raucous multitudinous emails to answer ...
If life gives you an oversized sweater ... wear it, sleep in it, shower in it, marry in it, go parasailing in it, etc. etc. Until it is summer and it is too hot to wear a sweater.
"When life gives you lemons, make lemonade, and then throw it in the face of the person who gave you the lemons until they give you the oranges you originally asked for."
If life gives you a bee sting, try not to die from the anaphylactic shock.
If life gives you your enemy for a working group partner...
