The world is a difficult place.
War rages in the Middle East and Ukraine.
In Washington, Congress seems paralyzed.
Here at home we battle over a garden, a baseball field, and whether our schools are ranked #1, #2 or #56.
It’s easy to forget what Westport is blessed with.
We are fortunate to live in a wonderful town. We are surrounded by active, involved, intelligent, creative people. Old and young, they do remarkable things, in many ways, every day.
And let’s not forget the beauty that is nearly everywhere.
The other morning, Philip Keane captured a bit of that wonder. As we wake up to another morning that may end in conflict, anger or anxiety, take a few moments to reflect on a few of the things that make us smile.
