Life is good.....

So.....after a 4-year hiatus, I am going to start blogging again..... 

My hope is that this will be a fun way for family & friends to keep up with me and share my many adventures now that I'm farther away living in Boston.....(sigh)........what a dream come true!  I LOVE BOSTON!  I've said for years that it's as if Boston is a person and it's the love of my life!!  ha!  And if you know me at all, you know that statement is NOT an exaggeration......I love love love love love it here!!

So, yes, I'm in Boston and I am going to start blogging again.  I want to share my many adventures both in and out of this amazing city.  Especially all of the reasons why, in my world, "It's Always Sunny in Boston" (I've never seen the TV show "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia", but I think it's a great name......so I'm stealing it because it perfectly fits my philosophy!).  I am fortunate enough to work for an airline, so I have MANY oppotunities to travel....both for work and for fun.  But no matter where I go and what I see, Boston is still the greatest city on the planet.  Yes...the PLANET.  Have I been to every city on the planet, you ask??  Nope....and I don't need to.  Boston is absolutely PERFECT....there could never be another place so magical, so charismatic, so full of charm and wit and personality.  I could go on and on and on about how fabulous Boston is.......and I will - - through this blog, so stay tuned!

I learn/notice/see/experience something new EVERY SINGLE DAY here in Boston that just makes me fall in love with this city all over again.  And I'm so excited to share that love with anyone who will listen [read :)].  One of my co-workers laughs whenever I talk about Boston.....she will say to people "Jodi's Boston is a different Boston than the rest of us live in....."  haha....I guess I can see her point.  Maybe I do wear rose-colored glasses every day.  But oh well!  I don't care....I love it.  And what a wonderful blessing it is to be living in a place I truly love.  I'm so grateful.......

Some of you may have followed my European Adventure blog which was on typepad - jodicantrell.typepad.com.  But since typepad charges a monthly fee, I'm now opting for the 'free' version instead (thanks google!).  Four years ago I traveled to Europe by myself for an amazing 5 weeks.  I managed to blog about half of that trip, but never finished it.  So with this new blog, I figure I will attempt to slowly transition my posts from that blog over to this one while I also finish talking about the rest of that trip......sort of in a 'flashback-blog-post' fashion.  I will be sure to add other 'flashbacks' from trips/adventures I've taken since then as well.  Mostly, I just want to be able to share my lucky life here in Boston, and all of the other places I get to go!

Happy days to all.......
