Walking is My Super Power

Yesterday we saw Iron Man 3... I am convinced that if I ask my amazing hairdresser for bangs this week and purchase a black tank top I will look exactly like Gwyneth Paltrow.

We love superhero movies!  My husband has an impressive comic book collection...let's just say we know who the original members of The Avengers are.  Even though our boys are getting older, they don't mind going to superhero movies with mom and dad.  Superheros...it's what we do.

As we arrived at the theater yesterday, I was unexpectedly overwhelmed with emotion...a whirlwind of memories. You see, one year ago we came to the same theater to see a superhero movie only I couldn't walk.  I was using a wheelchair. I didn't like it, but I wasn't about to miss The Avengers (even though it didn't include all the original Avengers).

Even though I swore I would never take walking for granted, sometimes I forget to be thankful.  Walking...it's my superpower!
