Be Thankful~~~

I am so thankful for the "good" in people. Some of my friends are GREAT ROLE MODELS. You may not know it ~but you are. I admire the way these women keep pushing every week to get to there goal. Some weeks are not that great for any of us, & it would be ever so easy to throw in the towel, but they don't. Great job ladies. If you know it or not, someone is out there watching you, you are making a difference to someone! I have found some great life long friends I am sure at Weight Watchers! Thank-you ladies for being YOU!

It is so easy to look at someone & talk bad about them , but I have found the good in people is so nice to find..... a nice change. If good things are going on for you, it is much easier to be positive & look for the good in ...EVERYTHING!!!!!

Weight Watchers Pumpkin Pie with Graham Cracker Crust

3 POINTS per serving

Ingredients

•3 oz. reduced-fat cinnamon graham crackers, about 5 1/2 sheets
•1 Tbsp. packed light brown sugar
•2 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted

8.Slice into eight pieces, top each piece with 1/2 tablespoon of whipped topping and serve warm or at room temperature. Yields one slice per serving.
