To Be Hopeful


I can't believe this is the very first photo I took in the new year --- my full month of brace brackets! It isn't a pleasant feeling to wear them, especially at meal time. I will have to live with them for the next 700 days too! It's the hope of better aligned teeth and the beautiful smile that keep me moving forward with the orthodontic process. How pathetic it would be to live a life without hope! To live out a life of hope is very important, I told myself when I could only swallow mushy food, and bit my lips numerous times since last Friday. Wearing braces also taught me patience. I can't eat at my 'normal' speed as I used to be, 15 minutes of meal time has turned into 30 or even longer. Please don't forget to pray for me sometimes. BTW, I will have 6 teeth extracted 2 weeks from today. I will be a good girl :)

I put it off for 3/4 years. Finally I stepped up to the 'frontier'. Ha, ha!
