"Enjoying" life for what it is

Take life for what it is
Pran lavi a pou sa li ye a. (makes sense to me)

Enjoy life for what it is (I don't get this...)
Jwi lavi a pou sa li ye a.

Enjoy life.
Jwi lavi a.

Pwofite lavi a.
Take advantage of life
or
Pwofite jenès ou.
Take advantage of your youthfulness

from previous post, 'ban m kay la blanch." works too

Ban m kay la blanch (pick up your stuff, remove your stuff from the house, and get out)

Wi, ranmase zafè'w.  retire'w nan kay la. Demenaje. Ban'm kay la blanch.
Se sa l vle di.

Bòn ane! I am seeing a use of "depi" in this article that is new to me: "Nan yon deklarasyon li fè lendi 31 desanm nan depi Mezon Blanch lan, prezidan Barack Obama di..." "Depi" here seems to be as "from," in a physical not temporal sense, like "sot nan"

Mèsi wi.  Bòn ane a ou menm tou.

Yes, you are right.  "Depi", here, translates "from (out of, from one point...)"
and yes, sometimes we can say it as, "Depi sot nan...." in addition to "sot nan..."

Some examples:

1. Li tonbe depi sot anlè rive jouk atè a.

2. Madanm nan te monte machin nan, li te koumanse plenyen depi Okap rive jouk Pòtoprens.

3. Machin nan t'ap ban n traka depi sot New York  rive jouk isit la.

4. N'ap prezante ou program sa an dirèk depi sot Miami.

"sòt ki bay, enbesil ki pa pran", is this about looting?

I'm not going to say that it is.
I think it's about watching for when an opportunity arises, and to not be ashamed to grab it and make the most of it.
"sòt ki bay, enbesil ki pa pran"
"It's the stupid that gives, it's the imbeciles who do not take" basically

☺ A pye Nou ye!

My late grandma never spoke English.  When we taught her to say "Happy New Year" in English, she kept saying the Creole phrase "A pye nou ye! " which actually means something like "we're walking" or "we're moving on foot".  And she kept the Haitian tradition of walking around to wish people in the neighborhood a happy new year.
So when she wished her English-speaking neighbors A pye nou ye!, they actually understood her and said "Happy new year to you too!"

if "in town" or "out of town", or 'depasaj" I can say kikote ou abite? for where are staying while away?

Si moun nan depasaj, m panse li ta pli apwopriye pou w di, "Ki kote w'ap fè ladesant?"
