HOPE OF SPRING, HOPE IN A SUNSET 2-27-15

Image
It's been a very, very long winter. The days are getting longer, the light of day is both earlier and later. Though snow is predicted Sunday night, the hope of Spring is definitely in the air. Plus, I did something I haven't done in awhile, I trekked outdoors and:                      I WATCHED THE SUNSET!                                       Evelyn Pinto                                      February 27, 2015

IT'S FREEZING HERE, IN MASSACHUSETTS! 2-17-15

Image
Outside, the wind has a ferocity that scares and amazes me. The snow, all the snow, so much snow with more coming. yes, we, in New Englanders, have been hit hard with blizzards, wild winds and an overabundance of snow. If it wasn't s cold as it is (It, with the wind chill factor, has gotten 25 degrees below zero) I would make snow angels and snow people. I miss my favorite, eating snowflakes from the sky. Yes, it is FREEZING here! I only, going out when I absolutely have to.  I'm so grateful to be inside and warm, while just looking out the windows!                              Evelyn Pinto                              February 17, 2015

BEING WITH THE CHILDREN, 2-14-15

Image
I'm so grateful for so many people in my life. I'm very grateful for the people who came yesterday to celebrate the mass in our building. On February 14, 2015 (Valentine's Day), the priest, adults and children came and celebrated mass with all of  us in the senior building, where I live. I came prepared. I brought all kinds of paper, markers, crayons, cards and (my favorite), STICKERS! Stickers were the big hit with the children. I dtd what I Love to do, Being With The Children!  I kept the children occupied while the mass was going on,                                 Evelyn Pinto                                February,14, 2015 *Pictures were taken by Meena Lisa

YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN THE SUNSET TONIGHT, 2-10-15

Tonight, the sky danced in color! I bundled into my my winter clothing, braved the elements and trodden outside. It was utterly amazing! The sunset tonight, well, it totally took my breath away! It was glorious! The sky had more color than I've seen in a very long time! In the midst of the blizzards and all this snow that we, people of New England, have been surviving through, God presented us with a miracle, a wonderful, amazing miracle in tonight's sunset. My idea is that God wants to show us, in the midst of all this suffering, there is still beauty. My friends, you should have seen the sunset tonight!                                                                Evelyn Pinto                                                                February 10, 2015

THE COMPUTER, A USEFUL TOOL, BUT, CANNOT TAKE THE PLACE OF A PERSON 2-8-15

Image
In my youth, I remember that I had a lot of love, all of my family and many friends around, physically around, for support. I have my cell and laptop, which both make my life easier. I would rather have someone there with me, in the human form, instead of having the lifeless entity as the computer. I would prefer feeling someone's presence with me, as I go through the stuff life tosses at me. The computer is a very useful tool but, it is only a tool and could never, ever, take the place of a live person.                            Evelyn Pinto                            February 8, 2015 Don't expect, from a tool (like a computer), more than it is able to give.

GOD"S GOT IT COVERED 2-7-15

So many of us are plagued with trials and troubles in our lives. So many are experiencing troubles that are far beyond what we, personally, can control. It makes me very sad to see family and friends go through so much unbearable, intolerable pain, pain in themselves and for those we love and care about. It makes me so sad and I want to do what I can to take away all of your pain and and take away the reasons that keep you up nights. It's infuriating for me because I can't solve all of your problems but, I CAN do one better. I can give all your problems and pain, in prayer to God and ask Him to take away what has been so troubling to you, my family and friends. Don't worry, I'm praying for you all. I KNOW God has it all covered and He's definitely in control!                                  Evelyn Pinto                                    February 7, 2015

HERE'S A GOOD JOKE 2-1-15

                  Here's a Great Joke! The irony is that it's not far from the truth! Health Care INFORMATION YOU NEED TO HELP YOU CHOOSE YOUR NEXT HEALTH PLAN .. Q. What does HMO stand for? A. This is actually a variation of the phrase, "HEY MOE." Its roots go back to a concept pioneered by Moe of the Three Stooges,who discovered that a patient could be made to forget about the pain in his foot if he was poked hard enough in the eyes. Q. I just joined an HMO. How difficult will it be to choose the doctor I want? A. Just slightly more difficult than choosing your parents. Your insurer will provide you with a book listing all the doctors in the plan. These doctors basically fall into two categories -- those who are no longer accepting new patients, and those who will see you but are no longer participating in the plan. But don't worry; the remaining doctor who is still in the plan and accepting new patients has an office just a half-day's drive away and ha

ON HELPING & BEING HELPED 2-1-15

"This in the day that The Lord has made, Let us rejoice and be glad!" This does not mean smile and laugh even though we have trials, troubles, and lots of bad things happening to us. No! This means smile, laugh and be joyful, despite the bad stuff in our lives. Give this stuff, unbearable stuff to God in prayer. If you can, help others whenever you can and wherever you are. This is what God is calling us to do. Christ's commandments to us are: Love God and Love others. Loving others is helping and being helped by each other. In life, we all are helpers and we also receive help from each other. We can help each other in big and small way. I find that the biggest ways come from the heart.                                                          Evelyn Pinto                                                         February 1, 2015
