You find what feeds your soul and you nourish it as such. If that happens to be sitting in a small room typing away at a glowing screen in the middle of the night...
I know that when I wake up now and I look out over the river... I have something very special and I count my blessings. I take a scoop and feed my soul.

I very much agree with this. Ever since I was a kid I've wanted to live in a high-rise with views of the buildings around. I've lived in some pretty horrendous places. When we were shown this place and I saw the Hancock building looming in our view, I immediately knew this was it. It was a little over our budget but we adjusted. We wake up every morning to this view and swore to never take for granted what we have.
The only drawback is that we live at the intersection of the main routes for two of downtown's busiest fire departments, but it's a small price to pay for realizing a lifelong wish.
