You only get one shot do not miss your chance to blow. This opportunity comes once in a life time.

Once I am able to move something to the blog, it seems to make room in my head for other stuff. This is a good thing, because it is pretty crowded in my head right now.

I have had a hard time connecting back with my life before Mom was sick. I feel like I have lost a couple of layers of skin and everything is either itchy or raw.

This week brought a new hair cut. (More perkiness.. As my hair gets shorter, my butt is getting wider. I am about ready to be healthly again. Less junk and more exercise.)

I actually was going to skip my Hospice class this week, but one of the group guys called to meet me for ice cream beforehand. We had a great time, and were actually late.

I had dinner with another friend from church Wednesday that is almost finished with her radiation. It was beyond words wonderful.

What a memory I would have missed if I had not gone to both of these. Which brings us to the title of the blog. Bonus points if you know the song. Do not miss your chance to blow. Do not miss your chance to be a friend. Do not miss a chance to invite someone into your life.

If you know me, you know that important projects that I work on get assigned a soundtrack. It is like Pavlov's Dog, when the headphones go on and the CD starts to play, I know it is time to work on a certain project. With that in mind, Mom had a soundtrack. I would put it on when I would drive back and forth to Greensboro. So, without further delay, the Mom CD.

1. Heavy - Collective Soul
2. Hurt - Johnny Cash
3. Breathe - Anna Nalick
4. I'm Not Ready to Make Nice - Dixie Chicks
5. How Beautiful are the Feet
6. Where Does the Good Go? - Tegan & Sara
7. There's a Girl - The Ditty Bops
8. Thunder Road - Bonnie Prince Billy with Tortoise
9. The Long Day is Over - Norah Jones
10. Best of You - Foo Fighers

Needless to say, this is the only time this group of artists will appear together on a single CD. Not to call anyone out, but Track 5 is for Dr. Z. If you heard Mom talk about her Healing Prayer group, this should bring a smile to your face.
