Death Quote by James S. Fell
““The ordinary miracle is the one that can actually happen. It can be seen in people who hated exercise, lived off junk food and were in a death spiral — until they changed. Usually via a slow and steady approach, more tortoise than hare, but they changed. It was a long process, but they got leaner and more muscular. They worked hard to build strength, speed and stamina. They looked and felt better. They got out of the death spiral and began to enjoy life much more. For them, looking back on who they used to be and who they became, it seems miraculous.””
