Hobbit Height -count me in too!!!!

I am 5'1 and people are always picking on me because of it so at home I just make my sons and husband who are 5'8 and 9 get every thing down for me. I just tell them the "shrimp" can't reach it but you can. I make them work for their comments since they find my height entertaining but to me it can be a handicap. You should see me climb the shelves at Wally World, Target, or the grocery store!
I must say though I absolutely love your hair it is really beautiful! Mine is that long also, but mostly grey or silver now days, kinda of like Gandalf's curls. I have found people find long grey hair unusual and always say some thing- usually positive though about it. A lot of people want to know if it is my real color and I have to wonder who in their right mind would dye there hair grey, if the color even exist in a bottle. My son bleached his long bangs white but the hair all broke off from the peroxide hair whitener he got from Hot Topic. So he won't do it again and is glad he did not do his whole head. Since he was about 11 he has grown his hair to about his waist and then we cut it to give to Locks Of Love for cancer patients.
I wanted to say I also really liked your out fit too and I would say your look is more a cross between Elves and Hobbits and it reflects your good heart!
The repetition, the doubling and the long strands of interconnected narrative all mean something. They say that life is a series of cycles, and that we will likely meet the same kinds of archetypal guardians, opponents and allies at various stages along the way. But the nature of the conflicts changes as you age and grow over the span of an epic. Reading 'The Lord of the Rings' in my 20s, I was inspired by its idealism, but also terrified by its vision of middle life and old age as a patient, plodding struggle against the mundane grinding of evil. Seeing the movie meant something else to me from my current perspective, around the corner of age fifty, reminding me that the raw intensity of youthful dreams still has purity and power. At the same time, I felt the death of comrades in the movie keenly, for comrades have started to fall around me, and I looked to the story for the courage to continue the struggle without them.~As the legend says, 'One Ring to rule them all and in the darkness bind them.' We were certainly bound in the darkness, me and that afternoon's audience for the first chapter of 'The Lord of the Rings,' fellow travelers on a long journey together, seeking meaning for our shadowed world in the mirror of a myth, just as humans have always done.~Christopher Vogler
