Dear Diary,

There are more than 3 weeks now since I had my jaw surgery and I’ve been on a liquid diet since then. I can start eating again on Thursday but I have to start with soft food that doesn’t require much chewing. 

Being on a liquid diet wasn’t as hard as I thought, I thought I would be craving food more but I’m actually doing just fine! 

Although I can’t wait to start eating normally again. 

There are so many things we take for granted, like being able to eat, speak and so many other things. Sometimes we have to stop and appreciate what’s around us and think about what we’re thankful for. Being thankful helps us appreciate life more and be happy. 

Today I’m thankful for having been able to buy a house with my boyfriend, seeing the plants we planted are growing. 

I’m also thankful that I finally graduated from college which I so badly wanted to be done with and that I still have a job. 

I’ve no idea what I want to do in the future but that’s okay. I’m going to enjoy the moment and take life as it comes. 

We can’t control what happens around us but we can control how we deal with it.
