My brother visited us for the first time since I moved to New York City. New visitors are nice because I once again get to experience the city with fresh eyes. Old, everyday routine things become interesting again.
My brother noticed details that used to fascinate me, but I now overlook. He marveled at the size of skyscrapers and the construction that went into building them. Each time we went into the subway he noted the arched ceilings, the girth of the steel beams, and the speed of the trains. He liked the number of people always on the street, no matter the time. All things that I love about the city, but take for granted.
Sometimes it takes a new perspective to reinvigorate my appreciation of what's around me.
