If you’re a Marvel movie fan, you must know that “Spider-Man: No Way Home” is breaking box office records ($1.53 billion worldwide so far). I am a fan of the #X-Men. I enjoy watching #Wolverine, #Magneto, #Mystique, #Storm, that the others with their mutant powers. As a kid, like many young boys, I enjoyed comics with the stories about #Superman, #Spider-man, the #HumanTorch, #TheThing, #Aquaman, and #Flash and how they used their superpowers to battle evil. We all did. Now that I am older, I realize that each of us has at least one superpower, or more. We may not know what they are, but you don't have to be a mutant to use them.
For example, my wife has several superpowers. One of her powers is super hearing. She can hear an ant crawl on the kitchen counter. Sometimes she'll listen then announce to me, “We have ants!” Apparently, I have to do something about it,. Her super hearing is so sensitive that she can hear silence. Sometimes, she wakes me in the middle of the night and tells me that she can hear that I'm not breathing. Wow!
She also has a super sense of smell. If I eat a donut while I am out of the house, she can smell it when I get home. She'll ask me, “Did you get one for me?” (I never do.) She also can read the minds of our two greyhounds. Often when they come to me, she'll tell me, “They want a treat” or “They want out” or “They want to be petted.” Wow again. She even has the power to know what I want. When I stand up, she'll say, “You want to get me a glass of wine.” I didn't even know that. She might say, “You want to take me out to dinner.” It's amazing!
Remember when you were a kid, and you thought your mom had eyes in the back of her head? That was her superpowers. My superpower? I can make people smile. I'm working up to laughter. Perhaps you have a superpower or know someone who has. Let's hear about it.
