One sure way to appreciate your home is definitely to go away for a while. I was in Brooklyn, New York for a week and I could not wait to get back home. Don't get me wrong, I love New York, but I love my home much more. New York is great for entertainment purposes only for me. The theater, restaurants, and shopping are fabulous. But the rushing, horrible traffic, rude people I just don't have the patience for.
I still don't see how people can stand living there. The cost of living is so astronomical that I would probably be living in a tent.
