A BREATH OF FRESH AIR
"A breath of fresh air" means, let's say, if you are stuck in a situation that you find unpleasant, and something changes to improve the situation, this welcome change can be compared to breathing in some fresh, clean air, because one always feels better after breathing in good, clean air.
e.g. After spending a boring weekend with my uncle, my brother showing up to take me out to lunch was like a breath of fresh air!
Or, for example, there have been no changes to a situation for a long time and then one day something positive, interesting or different happens, this is like a breath of fresh air.
e.g. Being allowed to go home one hour early from school/work on Fridays is like a breath of fresh air!
