Nothing

If you have not seen KungFu Panda you must go see it! It's one of those feel good, learn a lesson, moral to the story AWESOMENESS type of shows!!! The unlikely panda bear, Po, becomes a Kung Fu master and it's up to him to defend everyone from the oncoming threat of the leapord! But, what made this panda more special than any of the others? Nothing. The ancient scroll held the secret to his success and future as the Kung Fu warrior. But what did the scroll say? Nothing. It was an interesting take on what makes someone more special or capable of doing great things. Absolutely nothing. The only thing Po had was his determination to fight with the furious five Kung Fu students. Po thought he would need something extremely special, some kind of revelation, to help him defeat the leapord. But, when the scroll was opened, all Po saw was his reflection on the paper. There was nothing there. Po defeated the leapord because he realized "nothing" made him special. The secrets on the scroll taught Po that he, himself, was that something special that was needed to save everyone from the leapord. Nothing made him special. Nothing made him fight better. Nothing was written on the scroll, and nothing gave Po any special qualities. He just simply did what he was asked. It's something you can apply to life. You can apply it to motherhood. You can apply it to any sport, and subject, and endeavor. Nothing is needed to make you more capable of setting out to do what you want.

I'm so glad that you blogged about this movie! What a great lesson it does teach. What I saw in the movie also is that the bad leopard wanted nothing more than to see the secret of the scroll and when he opened it he saw nothing too--but never learned the secret and was defeated....SCUDOOSH!! It's within us all. Love you Lace!!

It was a short trip and Chris never put your number in his cell. We also didn't pass through southern Utah like normal. We found a shorter route going through Price...but I guess we'll have to figure something out for Labor day! ;)
