I'm EXHAUSTED! Usually positive through the negative tosses and turns of Life, I'm having a bad day! It's just things have really become difficult, painful and scary for me!. I'm trying to utter words of prayers to My Lord but, I am in severe pain and I'm so, so, so tired! I'm going to sleep for awhile. Evelyn
I slept, I slept for awhile. I just woke up! Time To fall asleep. Again! Life is Good Today, When I'm Asleep!! A Sleepy and Feeling Sick, Evelyn

To My Family, Friends and Everyone I have met, meet and will come in contact with, I am praying for All of You! Love, Evelyn Pinto
I'm going to be a homebody the rest of this week. If a doctor needs to see me, a medical test(s) have to taken and/or an appointment is this week, I say: Reschedule! If there is something going on that I l would usually go to,, I say: Another time! If someone or some more than one wants me to go with them, I say: How about come over to my place? So, I'm classifying myself, just this week, as a homebody! I do plan to go outside and breathe the fresh air while I take in the wonders of God's miracles of nature! I do want, also, to go to church! Love and prayers,, Evelyn  Pinto
I've come to a point in my life where I am NOT a people pleaser. It IS important to me to be a God pleaser. I am most happy when I serve God. I please God by praying to Him, My Lord, praising Him for all the wondrous things He's done, giving Him thanks for All He has blessed me and,by doing all I can to help others. From,  Evelyn,Pinto,  A God Pleaser

These pictures, and so,so, many pictures which trigger so many good, wonderful, aching memories. My heart longs for the way the past was, is content in what God has blessed me with and still, with eager anticipation, enthusiasm, excitement and passion can't wait for the plans God has for me in future years of my journey called "My Life"!

Good MORNING GOD!

Good Morning To My Family and My Friends! Here are some photos I took of early morning (7--26-14, around 5 am). God, with these spectacular sights of this day, gives The Very, Best Good Morning Greetings! Good Morning God! Thank You! Love, Your Child,                              Evelyn   Like
I went to Harvard Square last night!! (It's been a million years since I've been there)! I was a student at Emmanuel College when I use to frequent Harvard Square!  Those were my Yesteryear  Days! I was, and still to a degree, a pure idealist. I studied relently, day and night, having the dream of becoming a physician.I wanted to change the world. I wanted to make the world a better pace for people.  I had dreams! I had many dreams that I thought were possible. The Harvard Coop is where I bought a lot of my school supplies and more. Harvard Square had its' own magic then! It[s bigger than I remember and even more intriguing to me! Going to Harvard Square, I realize that I STILL want to make this world a better place! Harvard Square Is Most Definitely A Magical Place!                                                                                  Evelyn Pinto

I am a person with a lung disease, using oxygen and needing to travel in a wheelchair.People either talk as if I were a baby or try to help me without asking first. If you see a person with a physical disability ASK if they need help. Just ASK and talk to us like you would anybody else because we are one of the anybody else! ASK first HOW you can help me.At times I do need and appreciate help with things that I cannot do! Don't just do things like bodily hold an elevator door open. I can very easily push the button to hold the elevator door open. Please, I, at times do need your help. Do NOT rob me of my independence, dignity and/or respect in the process. Evelyn Pinto

"Just Ask Me" - A Disability Awareness / Accessibility Compliance ProjectThis is a video telling of how people with disabilities are so misunderstood by today's society! If you see a person with a physical disability ASK if they need help. Just ASK and talk to us like you would anybody else because we are one of the anybody else! Evelyn Pinto

TALK TO ME | Physical Disability AwarenessThis video is a "Must See Video". This child tells exactly how it is for a person who lives with a disability. I especially liked it when she spoke about when people talk as if she were a baby because of having a physical disability. This tells so much that people have to know and realize about us, who live with a physical disability! TALK To ME, and this video, tells so much how I, an adult who is older, feel! Evelyn Pinto

I Am Strong I Am Powerful I Am Tired

What I Have Been Thinking About, How I Have Been Feeling & What I've Been Imagining...... I have joy when I have an appreciation for life that makes me become the child I once was or be that child. I am. I am that child,, just grown up with a lot more knowledge. I have the knowledge of the adult-me and the emotions of the child-me. There is one thing I will never give up at the expense of being a  full grown-up adult, my imagination. When life gets really, really difficult for me I attack the problem-conflict -condition like I'm a Superhero.! I am that  SUPERHANDLES ero flying around using my supernatural powers to attack the medical conditions attacking my body. It's a tiring process but, the medicines going through the IV's are really super potions invented by good magic and good magic always wins and it will always make me well. Then my wheelchair wheels become wings as I soar through the air traveling through different realms and universes. It's an amaz

As I Go Through Medical Tests

 (This medical event happened at another time. I just happened to edit this script).                                                         LIFE   I was at the hospital yesterday .They discovered a nodule in the first test Lots of tests followed afterwards. I began to get apprehensive when I saw patients come and go (even patients that came after me) taking the same test(s). I was asked to take another more in depth tests.After the last test I was asked to wait in the exam room for the doctor. It seemed like forever! I wanted to pray bu t, honestly, the only prayers I could even think of were The Our Father and The Serenity Prayer. I exhausted those prayers as I voiced them over and over to God. Then I had the idea of singing to My Lord.. The only songs I could remember then were How Great Thou Art, Blessed Assurance and Puff The Magic Dragon. I thought that Puff The Magic Dragon was not a traditional song to cry out to God with but, to me, it made perfect sense. I realized

I REALLY NEED A BREAK!!!

I Really Need A Break! If Anyone Wants To Know Why, I Don't Have a Clue! If Anyone Wants To Know Where, Beats Me! If Anyone Wants To Know The Reason, Are You Seriously Asking Me This? If Anyone Wants To Know When, I'm Working On It!, So, Everyone, I Will Be Detained From This Part Of My Existence In The State Called, "What Everyone Expects!" Off On Wings, Evelyn (Pinto)

I'm Going Home!1

Everyone, I'm going home from the hospital today. It was a short stay this time. The doctors emphasized to me that I have to slow down. It's for my own health that take it slow and easy, nothing strenuous is what they communicated to me. Though my problems are chronic and acute and my lungs (COPD) are not too strong, the rest of my treatment will be given as an outpatient. I'm happy about this. I want to go home. Thank you, everyone, for all your prayers. Prayers Do Work! God Is So Good! Love, A Very Grateful, Evelyn
Good Evening Everyone! I'm home from the hospital. I was discharged late yesterday afternoon! Thank You, Everyone, For All Your Prayers, A Graciously, Grateful, Evelyn

Short Time In Hospital

Though it was a short hospital stay, I missed my home. I missed my friends (a lot)! I missed my apt. I missed my stuff in my apt, missed relaxing on my couch and recliner. I missed going outside in the very early morning when the sun was rising and the birds were chirping away. This was a time when I could be alone with nature and with God! I also missed making my coffee! (I just HAD to put that in)! I'm Home! Praise The Lord!

Rough Times - In The Hospital

I am still in the hospital. I have had a rough time of it. Things are starting to become a little better. Maybe my health issues aren't much better but, my attitude is better. I'm calmer and not as scared as I was yesterday, last night and most of today. Not being able to breathe is very scary! It's not easy to be a patient in the hospital, not easy at all! They had major difficulty getting my  blood, for testing certain health related stuff.. So, so, so many primary care assistants and nurses tried. I was so tired of being stuck with a needle so to get the blood, blood for the tests that my doctor ordered. They finally got the blood they needed to test for certain things. It will be a calmer night tonight. I may even get some sleep tonight. I really need to get the rest my body requires. I need to sleep, sleep a lot more! I'm so, so, so tired!

In The Emergency Room

I am in the Emergency Room at the hospital I go for care. I have been having trouble breathing , my oxygen saturations have been dropping, and I am also dealing with a lot of pain. This pain, especially in my chest, is most probably from the chronic lung disease that I had been diagnosed with some time ago. . It's exhausting, painful and lonely being living with this sickn ess and needing the acute care of a hospital so much. I'm in pain a lot and so very, very tired.. I don't know if I will be admitted but, I'm praying that I feel better. Please pray for me and for all the people having to live with chronic health conditions. I, and others like me, would love that! I won't say that I'm not scared because I kind of am, really, really scared! Love, Evelyn (I can't be on the computer too long. I accidently broke the charger to my computer). (I am waiting for a charger that I to be shipped to my home).

Live Today - Tomorrow Isn't Promised To Nobody

Live today to the fullest! Give to others, especially your time and the best of who you are! Live well! Smile a lot! Laugh loads! Be kind! Forgive others! Forgive yourself! Don't hold on to bad garbage! Visit people you haven't seen in a while and tell them how valuable they are! Show all LOVE! Please do this and even more oft he good stuff! The reason;Tomorrow isn't promised to nobody, no one!

I cried out to God, real

Family Barbecue 7-5-14

Yesterday we had a family barbecue with my sister,, her family (including one of my very, favorite people and brother-in-law, Doug) and more family and friends! My sister's new family, her mother-in-law, Doris, and Aunt Mary, 2 wonderful, a mazing woman made this family time memorable! Among others that wee there, were my nieces, Telia, Anita, Hannah and Paula, and a little person, this adorable young boy, Jonathan. I had so much playing cars and trucks (on the ground) with him! He, and his mother,came with Paula (I think)?? I can never forget about my mother, Gloria Pinto! My Mother Is The Best Mother In The World! Anytime Anyone Spends With My Mom Is So, So, So, Special!!                  Evelyn
