Why are there bumps?

I guess like everyone else I've always had this fantasy about the perfect relationship. You know, the one where it's all smooth sailing. Like a catamaran on a glassy sea, where plenty of wind hits the sails but it never riffles the water. Like I said, fantasy.

I don't have that fantasy relationship now. And I'm too realistic to think I ever will. But it is so great to be with someone who is willing to help work the boat.

Life is good.
