Hey, here's a picture of Makenna with BRACES!! She got them on the 22nd of August.
I have a renewed commitment to myself and my blog to blog more. I have really let some time slide, as seems to happen with me with blogging and journaling. I have, all of my life, wanted to stick with journaling. I start them and drop them, buy a new cool one, start it, let it slide...and on and on. Well, I've sort of realized that maybe this is a bit of a pattern with me (duh) and maybe I should not beat myself up or decide to not even start a journal if I can't stick with it, that sort of thing.
I've decided to just do the journaling thing like meditation, start, focus on the breath (intention to journal) and bring myself back to the breath when the mind wanders (pick up the journaling again after being distracted from it and having months of inactivity!).
So, here we are again, being brought back to the breath.
And that brings us back to Makenna and her braces. August 22nd, almost 2 weeks ago. P
oor kid was in pain, big pain, for a while. I knew she was hurting because I've never seen her so unhappy and miserable for such an extended period of time. Sad puppy. Tuesday she got her braces and by the weekend she was perking up, but still not able to really eat much. By the time a week rolled around she was doing very well. Today in the car she said "I just forgot I have braces!" So, here we are. Life is getting better for the brace faces! Cheesy Braces Smile Alert!
