ME-as I go through this zany, marvelous, difficult experience called: "LIFE"!

When I Can't Look In Or Look Out, I Look Up!  __Evelyn Pinto                                                                                    April 30, 2015

This is my self made mobile in my apartment. It is hanging from a light fixture. The sun-catchers are some of the items that I've painted. When I'm in bed in the other room, , I can see through to the living room. I watch with awe as the shadows, of the mobile pieces, dance on the wall!. It's Amazing!                                    Evelyn Pinto                                    April 28, 2016

I love being with children  and dogs more than anything! Imagine my surprise when my sister visited with my niece, Heather and a puppy! I hugged my niece and held this special, 2 month old puppy. Elvis, in my arms. This 2 month old puppy, I know, felt safe and warm, in my arms.  This time with my niece and my new, 4 legged friend, in my arms could have never been long enough! This special time with 2 very young beings, my niece, Heather and this special puppy, who's name is Elvis, is a memory I will keep in my heart forever!                                       Evelyn Pinto                                       April 27, 2015  

These are some really awesome pictures that I've taken! Enjoy them and please feel free to comment on any and/or all of my pictures.                                Thank you,                                                     Evelyn Pinto                                                         April 26, 2015                                 ...

                  THE SERENITY PRAYER How I (Evelyn Pinto) view The Serenity Prayer: (This is a very special prayer to me). God grant me the serenity (Lord, keep me quiet, calm and still when I need to be, not only physically but in my head as well) ) to accept the things I cannot change (Lord help me to accept not only my physical limitations but, my emotional boundaries as well) the courage to change the things I can (Lord, allow me never to live in places like risk or fear) and the wisdom to know the difference. (Lord, let the choices that I make and the life I live glorify You)! I hope you like how I look at the Serenity Prayer.  I love this prayer!                                                 Evelyn Pinto

As I get older (and I hope wiser) I'm realizing how important how I thought were the little things in life have gotten. These little things are, now, mind - bangling and much more important now. My faith in God sustains me. My family is super important to me. The wondrous night sky that was so visible to me last night I remember. The 'I love you' coming from my sister, Roberta's  mouth touched me. "I love you"  springing out of the mouths of so many whom  I also love and who have become so very important to me means so much to me. The innocent love children of children, presented to me so wondrously, has given my heart reasons to jump joyfully!s I get a bit older, these wondrous love sounds are beautiful songs to me. God loving me, me,  a sinner, so much that He sent His Son so I might have a chance, is the greatest love I or anyone, can ever, ever receive. God has loved me that much! Praise Be To God!  Love,  Graciously ...

My Life has become a balancing act.  Every lean to a particular emotion or event can put me over the edge. I'm okay, as long as I am living in the familiar or at the very least,  know what's coming. When uncomfortable, unexpected or frustrating circumstances invade my life, my coping skills and tolerance for people and things, drops significantly lower than when I'm in a stress-free state of mind. When I, physically, am sick and not feeling well, my emotions scatter all over the place. My physical health has not been good, especially, lately. Living with a lung disease and other health issues and living with being sick so much, has  a lot to do with my emotional frame of mind. It is NOT the reverse. This lung disease that is invading my body, as well as these other health issues, make visits to the hospital, almost routine. I, sometimes, become less patient and more impulsive than I want to be.  I, under ordinary circumstances, would not react as quickly, as I have...

Whatever has happened, has happened! What is happening, is supposed to happen. What will happen,  well, there we have  choices to make.  God is definitely in control!  He doesn't cause bad stuff to happen to us, No God is All Good. He  walks with us through life, especially through our trials and difficult times and equips us with the courage,strength, and perseverance to see us through this bad stuff! Yes, my friends, God is definitely in control!                                                                        Evelyn Pinto                         ...

Writing makes me feel free and it makes me feel like I have wings! Writing is a way of expressing how I feel, makes it possible for me to communicate effectively with people and praise God! As I write, I'm using the gift God gave me! Love,                                                                      Evelyn Pinto

It rained all night. It was still raining this morning. I slept on the couch with the living room windows open. I slept in peace. I love the smell of the rain. I love the sound of the rain. It was as if, to me, God was cleansing the world of the evil that penetrated our safety, our lives, our homes, our town and our country. It's raining and it's going to be a good day! "Let us rejoice in the day that The Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad"!                                                             Evelyn Pinto                                                            April 20, 2013

Friendship is a treasured gift. A description of friendship (that I remember reading) is: "Friends are God's way of taking care of us."  Even if I don't see my friend(s) for a long time, when we are together, it's as if we were never apart. I feel this way because, to me, we were never really apart because I always carry them around in my heart. Friendship is a gift from God, a treasured gift! I'm blessed to have everyone in my life,  who calls me "Friend"!                                                    Evelyn Pinto                                                    April 15, 2015 There are friends whose pictures are not here but, still, also, hold a very, special place in my heart. I love all my ...

ME-As I go through this zany, marvelous, difficult experience called "Life"!: Grieving The Child I Never Bore : I’m grieving the loss of a child. I haven’t lost a child but, I’m grieving that loss of a child (and children) I have never had.  It s...

I Don't Know What I'm Doing  But,  I Know How To Do It!  _Evelyn

The Day of Easter is over but, not what it stands for.  What Easter signifies is a life long relationship with Our Heavenly Father made possible through the body and blood of His Son, Jesus Christ. This relationship is made new to us every second, every minute, every day. All we have to do is believe. Once we believe and truly accept Jesus,our life falls into place and we find comfort in a total dependence on God. Faith comes with a security that, with God, comes to us, a supernatural peace and knowledge that everything will turn out okay. This does not mean our life will be easy because the life of a Christian is not but, a calmness and a security that our lives are not in our own hands but , in the mighty Hands of God! No, my fiends, Easter is not over,  it's a life long process! Oh, What A Glorious God!                             ...

I had an exhibit of my photographs today .  It was exciting and also kind of nerve racking. It was my 1st exhibit but, I guarantee it won't be my last. This show, though small, was a beginning! I love to take pictures almost as much as I love to write .My best friends were there for this exhibit but, I know they were there, also to give me support. Among my very best friends, that were there, were Lynn Batten, Ernie and Elsie, Janet, Roseanne, Bonnie, Cynthia and Helen. I want to thank these friends, especially Lynn Batten, who took these photos of my photographs. Thank you,also, to all the people who were at my 1st show, and viewed my pictures. Last but, not least, I want to thank all of you for following  "The Journey Of  My Life", through My Blog! May God Bless All Of You! Love,      Evelyn April 3, 2015

Happy Easter Everyone! Please take an intensive look at these photographs. I shot these photos in the Fall of 2014. Observe, please, what appears to be a cross with the sun setting behind it.

God Is Good All The Time!                                                          Peace Everyone!                                Sending  Prayers To All !                            ...
