Welcome to Contagious Joy!
Thanks for stopping by. My name is Pam. This is my first post, and I’d like to welcome you to the Contagious Joy website.
The reason I decided to start a blog is because words and anything to do with them (books, reading, writing, editing, paper, pens, pencils, phonics) are my thing! Oh yeah, and now keyboards. 🙂
And I thought it would be fun! I also love to encourage others by sharing joy in many ways, especially by writing real notes and sending them through the real mail. 😉
So, I hope this blog will be like an encouraging, joy-filled note to you. Joy and encouragement give hope and we can all use more of that.
Albert Einstein said: “Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.” Good advice! A paraphrase of Hebrews 6:19 says: “Hope anchors the soul.” I love that.
On this Contagious Joy website, encouragement comes in different ways- by the actual blog (Let’s Talk), through beautiful and fun Pictures, and in Tidbits, (nuggets on a variety of topics).
I will be sharing my story in bits and pieces and welcome your participation and comments because I love to hear your stories! When you check back, the latest posts will be added under Let’s Talk.
After 55 years of living, I have some experience and wisdom (hopefully) to share. Here are some of the topics I will be sharing about:
- Family
- Being healthy
- Simply enjoying life
- Growing on the journey
- Household routines
- Enjoying our beautiful world
- Encouragement
- Travel- mostly Colorado vacations
- Perhaps a few recipes
- Other stuff 🙂
Again, welcome to Contagious Joy. I hope you visit the Get to Know Me page and come back soon. 🙂 Ttyl (talk to you later).
Blessings and blooms,
Pam (Oct. 2016)

Glad you’re here!
Nicely done!!!
Yay! Thanks! Share it with your peeps! 🙂
I love it! For some reason you have been on my mind a lot over the last several years. Many times just randomly popping into my mind. Sort of like God was directing me to you. We’ve lost touch over the years and one thing I liked about your blog was it let me know that you are healthy & happy and I learned a little about what has happened in your life. I really did enjoy it and it gave me a sense of peace & inspiration.. And I always have liked a little humor! I will definitely be following you! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Julie! I have thought of you over the years also. I’m so glad we have reconnected, at least a little bit. 🙂 Glad to hear you like the website/blog, and thanks for sharing it! Ttyl.
Looks great! I’m feeling encouraged already! 🙂
Thanks, Mr. LeGrand 🙂
