I’m so content, I could cry

by Pam Sievers 29 Comments

I’m so content, I could cry. This past week, I celebrated my birthday with a fabulous dinner in my beautiful home, and even treated myself to a pedicure which left me feeling invigorated. Later in the week, I went out to eat in a favorite restaurant, and finally enjoyed a refreshing dip in our community pool. What a life. What joy.

Welcome to my website!


Welcome to my website where my goal is to fill the pages with writing that induces gut wrenching laughs. Since I have no spouse, in-laws, children, grandchildren or pets, I have to work a whole lot harder than most humor writers. Instead you’ll find a blog that features travel, contemplative reflections, and of course some humor – you can’t embrace middle age without it. When not writing, I enjoy quilting so check out my quilting page. I hope you enjoy!
