We all might be familiar with the game that asks you what you would want your superpower to be if you could pick one, but I have a different question--do you already have a superpower? Let me explain!
A few weeks ago I was talking with my younger sister and the subject turned to the many challenges she has in her life---she has always been the main wage earner in her household; her husband has been disabled for many years and has many medical issues that she needs to monitor; one of her adult children has a difficult life; and she has 4 very active grandchildren that she regularly cares for. Despite all this, she has a wonderful attitude and a remarkable ability to persevere with grace. The comment she made that stuck in my head was: "I've decided that my superpower is Infinite Patience."
Isn't that great? That made me wonder if I could claim a "superpower" of my own. As someone with self-esteem issues, I had to think long and hard, but I decided that if I had to, I would say that being able to explain/teach things is mine, as I have had many people over the years tell me that they thought that was something I did well.
How about you? Tell us one thing that you would claim as your superpower. And no capes necessary!
