One day a man saw an old lady, stranded on the side of the road, but even in the dim light of day, he could see she needed help. So he pulled up in front of her Mercedes and got out. His Pontiac was still sputtering when he approached her.
Even with the smile on his face, she was worried. No one had stopped to help for the last hour or so. Was he going to hurt her? He didn’t look safe; he looked poor and hungry.

Felix, two commands, one dream

Getting Healthy – The Hard Part
What would you say is the hardest part of getting healthier? For some it's the getting started. Goals, direction. For others it's routine. Busy lives and busy schedules.
