Can we rise above it all?

It's what you wonder.

I know it.

Because so does he,

so do I,

and we all know that so do you in your relationship.

You think about your partner and ask yourself, just like me,

can we rise above it all?

The noise.

The judgment.

The expectations.

The monotony.

The freakin' pandemic.

Holy heck, if you ever wanted to test a partnership, light a flippin' pandemic under its arse and let it linger the flick on.

Can we rise above it all?

Maybe you ask each other.

Perhaps you pose that question to God.

It might even just be a daily evening dialogue you have with yourself and, well, yourself.

Can we rise above it all?

I've got your answer.

YOU CAN.

I CAN.

WE CAN.

With faith in each other,

a sense of humor,

and crapton of effort,

you won't just rise above it all,

but you'll elevate each other on the way up,

and that’s pretty dang spectacular.
