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

        Mother  A Blessed and Wonderful Birthday, Mother.                                           Gloria Pinto When I think of my mother, I can’t help but go back with her to my childhood. At that time I was convinced of this: my mother knew "everything"! During my early childhood, I wondered if my mother had eyes in the back of her head? My mother was magical and infallible! My mother is now in her senior years. With age, we are both realizing a loss of control over some matters in our lives. We don’t have the good health, vigor or stamina that is associated with youth. I’ve have to tell you though, my mother continues to be magical! She still senses the times when her children are in need. She somehow knows when something is terribly wrong or has miraculously gone right! My mother a person of love and wonder and class! Though our lives have changed with years, my mother is still there for me, as well as for her other children. The transfo

I left the state of sleep earlier than usual and avidly traveled to the realm of consciousness. It was a weird time of the morning, still dark, when I, still sleepy, stumbled outside. It was a strange but, wonderful feeling that arose in me. This was when I became an active participant at a time when night surrendered to day. It felt miraculous as I watched light emerge from the darkness. I gazed upward and, in prayer, and gave thanks for becoming a witness to a Miracle from God! Love, a graciously grateful,                             Evelyn Pinto                             August 30, 2017                                 Photographs taken by                                       Evelyn Pinto

My friend, Eleanor Cusack had a birthday today! Eleanor is, today, 92 years young! Eleanor’s family gave her a grand Birthday Party! Family and friends were here to celebrate with Eleanor! It was a joyous, fun time, a memorable time! There was cake, ice cream, sandwiches and all sorts of food and beverages! Yes, to my grand delight, there was even “Bubbles”! Thank you to Eleanor’s family and Joan, for bringing family and friends together and for, also, providing everything  (even “Bubbles”) to ensure that a marvelous time was had by all! Eleanor, you really know how to celebrate!                      Evelyn Pinto                     August 27, 2017 Photographs taken by Evelyn Pinto

HAVE A MARVELOUSLY, WONDERFUL DAY!           LOVE,                 EVELYN (PINTO)

I walked through the courtyard yesterday, which stands in the middle of the building where I live at. Gazing into the pond, my eyes fixated on this beautiful flower, different from the previous water lilies I had previously captured with my camera. This flower, a beautiful water lily, sent by God, stood straight up, as if exclaiming to the world: I’m here, I’m strong and I'm marvelously wonderful!! I love my walks!              Evelyn Pinto             August 24, 2017

My attempts at painting: How did I do?                                     _Evelyn Pinto

Today I've been presented with this new day! I’ve been given a chance to start over and make things right. The problem is that I have no clue if the world will ever be okay for me, for those I love and for anyone. This morning I'm praying to You, Lord for help, for peace, for comfort, for stability, for love, for good health and for, well, Lord, the list goes on! I pray to You, God, that things to be okay in this world and for akk of humankind. I love and cherish my family, my friends and my church! Please protect them, Lord! Please Lord, can you make this world a stable, safe, peaceful, just, and free place for everyone? I would so appreciate this and will be forever grateful! Love,                           Evelyn                            

If you can’t find good in the world today, be that good in the world today! Love,      Evelyn

THE DELARATION OF INDEPENDENCE The Want, Will and Hope of the People Congress July 4, 1776 We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness . We are all one race “The Human Race”! To all those people who think they, or their group, are better, smarter or purer, you are not. We all are connected. We all are all human beings and are social beings at that. We need each other. Instead of fighting each other, could we help one another out? Instead of looking down on others, maybe we can help them up? Instead of being angry with certain others, can compassion and empathy take over? Love,      Evelyn Pinto      August 16, 2017

                 Just For Today Can I ask a favor of everyone today? Could you all, just for today, smile at everyone you see? Give love as freely as you blink your eyes. Be compassionate and understanding, just for today. Look at others from their perspective, not your own, just for today. If it works out, just for today, maybe everyone can be kind all the time, WOW! We all can change the world! Love,     Evelyn Pinto     August 14, 2017

I I was at the Revere Beach yesterday with friends. The assisted living I live at arranged the trip. It was a perfect day for the beach. No, it wasn’t sunny. It wasn’t hot either. The beach wasn’t even crowded. The weather was cloudy and cool. And the beach was practically deserted. This meant we had the beach virtually to ourselves. Yes, definitely, it was a perfect day for the beach!                    Evelyn Pinto                   August 9, 2017
