So long, 2020!

by Pam Sievers 18 Comments

Hasta la vista, sayonara, au revoir, auf Wiedersehen, 再见, Hágoónee'. Whether in Spanish, Japanese, French, German, Chinese or Navajo, it all translates to the same thing. Good bye, so long, outta’ here. And I might add, don’t let the door hit you on the way out. Right? What can a 2020 year-end post say? I chuckled as I read letters received with Christmas cards this year, and suddenly found my inspiration. For the first time, I discovered a pattern I’d not noticed before and I wondered if Continue Reading

Holiday Sadness – It’s Okay

by Pam Sievers 18 Comments

Thanksgiving is just a few days away and begins the month-long tradition of holiday celebrations. Typically fun, joyous occasions for many people, even the most irritable in the crowd find reasons to enjoy. But this year, for families and individuals following coronavirus protocol, expectations are challenging. As a result, this has become a time of increased anxiety and sadness for many people. I hear it in their voices and read about it on their social media posts. This has hit my family Continue Reading

The Social Dilemma

The other evening, I watched The Social Dilemma, a Netflix documentary. Perhaps it was good timing that I watched it during Halloween season, because I walked away very afraid.

Wisconsin was home for my first 28+ years. Then Michigan for the next 36+, except for three years in Japan. I never visualized living any place else. Until September, 2014, when I helped my niece move some things to her home in Sun City, Arizona.

Welcome to my website!


Welcome to my website where my goal was 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. Hence, 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, learning about other cultures, and living in the Arizona desert.
