My first blog ever.

So I've been meaning to start a blog for years. I'm not sure why I haven't yet, but I suspect it's because I'm not sure how much time this will take. I have to think about the purpose of a blog and why I should or shouldn't do it. Being abroad again has motivated me to actually get to it! Also I just watched the movie "Julie and Julia" which also encouraged me to move ahead. lol!

As you may know, I'm back in Japan. Again. I hope the saying "the third time's a charm" applies to me here since this is round three for me in Japan. Why do I keep coming back? I never in a million years ever thought I would end up living here. I could see Italy in my future or someplace tropical, but not Japan. The strange thing is I really love it! It's like my second home. Don't get me wrong, it's not perfect nor am I. But it's comfortable for me and I like being here. For now, that's good enough for me.

So I will try to catch up on what's happened so far and continue on from there. This is a good start for today:)
