The View from My Chair

Someone commented the other day that I am brave. It’s not the first time I’ve heard that. People think dealing with a lifelong disability makes you brave. I don’t want to be brave, I want to be Superman, no, make that Super Woman. How does one become a super person? I wonder if it’s from eating super foods like Orovo? If I were a super person then there would probably be some kryptonite I’d have to deal with. Been there, done that. (That is funny!)

The word Kryptonite is also used in speech as a synonym for Achilles’ heel, the one weakness of an otherwise invulnerable hero.

Can you guess what is my kryptonite or Achilles’ heel?
