Sometimes I see so much beauty in the world, it's like I can't take it... -American Beauty

The view from my front yard alone tells me I've made the right decision in coming here. This place is so beautiful it puts even Duluth to shame! A few steps down from my yard the Bosphorus' splendor is all the more evident; this morning I watched the sun rise over the Asiatic hills that softly sculpt the landscape as boats of all sizes quietly made their way to the Black Sea. I'm home, and I may not choose to leave here for a long, long time. As I gaze out through the huge wall of windows that face the foliage behind my apartment, I can't help but think that somehow I'm meant to be here. The Fates have brought me here, and I am overwhelmed with gratitude.
