The Long And Short Of It

{The walk to Whetstone Rose Garden}

Physical stature was not one of those traits that I inherited from my father's side of the family.  At 5'2" I didn't meet the required height for United States Marine Corps MP division at the time, and that was one of those defining moments in a person's life. A "crossroads" of sorts where I was forced to reevaluate my future. What a life I may have had had that day gone differently. So to compensate for my vertical handicap, I dress in high heels, show a lot of leg, and even purchase denim a bit longer than I need to elongate my frame as a whole. I think it's fair to say I have found a way to improvise, adapt and overcome.
