There are no videos for this week's blog. My husband Bob, the first Pray It Off member and blog videographer, was unable to make the meeting. His beloved Mom, Esther Uhler, passed away, unexpectedly in Maiden North Carolina. After many tears, and much discussion, we decided he would fly down to the services and I would stay in Syracuse.
I held the weekly meeting as usual and we talked about how gratitude can help us in our weight loss efforts. It was a fitting topic. Bob and I are so grateful for the gift of his mother and I know my mother-in-law was so happy that Bob and I were getting, and staying, healthy.
I'll see you on the other side Mom Uhler and until then I want you to look up our Pray it Off pals, Steve, Jim, Gabe and Joe - great guys who we miss and love.

Simple Abundance "Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow." - Melody Beattie
