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

I have not been feeling well today. I've been running a fever for most of today. I've been staying in my apt today, mostly sleeping. My friends have been here, visiting me. I thank God every day for the blessings of friends and family. I also thank My Lord for doctors, nurses and hospitals. They take care of me when I am sick and Set me on the road, to feeling better again. At times, I have a good quality of Life. There are other times, I feel that I'm just surviving. This is when I pray. I am grateful that My God understands me, protects me, is here with me and loves me. I'm feel gratitude that My God loved me so much, that He sent His Son, Jesus, to die for me. I'm sick but, I know Jesus is with me,  giving me the strength and  courage to go through this time of sickness. I'm going to an appointment with my pulmonary doctor tomorrow. I pray that I'll be okay.                ...

Today has been a rough day, a really rough day! I know what I'll do.  I'm going to not think for the rest of today. Maybe I will take the day off thinking tomorrow. I will not acknowledge the world's existence, and all the persons in the world, I'm going to sing with the birds today. I'll travel through the sky 'til I reach a nice, fluffy, warm cloud to rest on. I'll dance with the trees in the wind. Yes, this seems much better (for a short while) than exercising any contact with the world or people. I want fun back in my life and not always be surrounded by serious life stuff.  Again, I ask: What happened to 5 years old?                                            Evelyn Pinto               ...

Life is so precious to me yet, it can be taken away from me and/or anyone in a flash!  I know I have to live today, live for the moment.  I have to make this moment count. I don't want to waste this short time I  have, being angry or being hurt. (I am just not feeling the best about myself or those I love).  Life is too short for this kind of thinking! I want to love the world and everybody in it!  I wa nt to sing, dance, laugh and do zany stuff! I want to see the sun rise and set.  I want to see, smell and watch the rain.  I want to watch thunder storms.  I want to eat a dozen snowflakes.  After I do all this, I will set another list of things I want to do.  As long as I can still do this fun stuff and thank God for it, I'm really, really living.  Love,              Evelyn Pinto              Au...

                       Authority:  Authority is of no question, it comes from God! It's other authority figures in this life that I have trouble with!!! A friend asked me once: "Do you have a problem with authority?" My answer: "Defiantly so!" My 1st authorities in my life were my mother and father. My parents taught me so much about Life. They were the first people who taught me what Life was all about . They loved me and showed me how to love others. I learned to survive and to be grateful. in what is an unfair but, beautiful world! About authority figures: Some authority figures, I respect them as well as their position in my life! Some I don't for these reasons: (1) Lies (2) Misuse of their authority position (3) Abuse of their authority  (4) This kind of authority person who  seems to think they are better than the people they have authority over! These l...

"Some people are so poor, all they have is money"! This quote was on a church sign. For some reason this quote really  hit me! I may not have much in the material sense or even have  "status quo" in this society but, I am so, very rich. I know what is important , what really is important, in Life! I've been blessed with a lot of love in my life. I have faith in My God and I have accepted Jesus as My Savior. This faith  sustains me through the trials and sickness I go through, as well as the joyful times in my life. God has equipped me with all I need today.. God has truly blessed me abundantly! Praise The Lord!                                          Evelyn Pinto                   ...

Peace and happiness will occur when we ,accept people for who they are and the good  (whether small and/or big) they do in the world.  _Evelyn Pinto
