I want to thank you this morning.
There are a lot of hard things in the world. Bad things of course.
But this morning, I was thinking of all the beautiful things for which I am thankful. These beautiful things are always around us, and we can always hold onto them when things get hard.
They become like a rope we can use to help us climb out of the dark holes in which we all find ourselves in sometimes.
I wrote a poem about it.

My name is Shelly Johnson, and I am a writer and philosopher with a Ph.D. in philosophy. One of my primary personal and philosophical interests is how we can learn to love ourselves and each other better in order to cultivate personal and political resilience. I teach ethics and a variety of other courses at a local college. I am the author of the blog Love is Stronger. I am also the author of three logic and critical thinking books for high school and middle school: _Argument Builder_, _Discovery of Deduction_ (co-author), and _Everyday Debate_, published by Classical Academic Press.
