"Oliver Wendell Holmes once attended a meeting in which he was the shortest man present. 'Dr. Holmes,' quipped a friend, 'I should think you'd feel rather small among us big fellows.' 'I do,' retorted Holmes, 'I feel like a dime among a lot of pennies.'"

We had strawberry shortcake for dessert tonight. So delicious! Gotta love the name.
I joke about my height a lot. Being on the short side (because according to the world average, 5'4 is normal) has never really bothered or offended me. In fact, in many ways it has proved to be an asset. As I grow older, I am becoming more and more comfortable in my own skin. When I was younger, it might have bothered me more that I wasn't very tall. There are still things that I don't particularly "love" about my appearance, but I'm slowly getting to the place where it doesn't really matter all that much what everyone else thinks. One day/month/year at a time.
After all, dynamite comes in a pretty small package, wouldn't you say?
