The meaning of this sentence is that you should enjoy the beauty of life and have fun in calm and uneventful days; but it is too late to start paying attention to your health until you achieve wealth.
From "Partridge Sky·Manshou" by Mi Fu
The cloud liquid is silent and white as silver. A touch of red clouds brings new flowers. Don't be tired of admonishing many people. A piece of flying flowers reduces spring.
The wings of bees are messy, and the eyebrows of butterflies are frowning. The chirping birds among the flowers encourage visitors. There is nothing to enjoy in life. When you are rich, you should keep fit.
