we are so lucky because when we're feeling tired, anxious, hungover, unenthusiastic, or simply _________ about the up-coming day, we are greeted by this man:
this is the AM New York newspaper hawker and he's certainly one of the best parts of my morning.
everyday he wishes us well: a smooth day, a successful meeting, an all star interview, a lovely weekend, or whatever he chooses that particular day. he asks "how's everybody feeling today?!" and always receives at least one "alright!" and a handful of smiles. he shouts out what the best stories are and on what pages they can be found if passersby only have a few moments to flip through the rag.
it's amazing how a complete stranger can become an integral part of your community.
how a blurry, 45second flash in his presence can make such an impact on your day.
this man, though i don't even know his name, is part of my daily fabric;
a very bright part, in fact.
happy monDAY, new york! happy monNIGHT, paris
