I left work buried in my thoughts, my brow furrowed as I walked down the street. I guess I looked angry? Frustrated? Then all of the sudden, out of nowhere, this tall guy walking in the opposite direction held up his hand and said, "High five!?" In that short moment, I went from pensive to completely surprised to happily surprised to ecstatic. My face must have lit up because his initially hesitant expression broke into a big smile. So I wound up, jumped and high-fived him epically in the middle of the sidewalk. We both cracked up as we continued walking our separate ways, blending back into the rush hour crowds.

I love this city.

New York is the best. I'd like to live there one day.

New York IS the best! There's an endless supply of people and places (Sugar Sweet Sunshine!) and moments here that can turn your day around, for better or worse... luckily for me, almost always better.







Hi, my name is Amy. Be well, and say hello!
