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

This afternoon, I was admitted into the hospital. I was feverish (102*), super congested, in severe pain all over my body, including severe headaches and other troublesome symptoms. When I arrived to the Emergency Room, I had a fever of 102*, my heart rate and my blood pressure were through the roof. My friends, I am very sick. I am being treated for pneumonia with IV antibiotics and something like prednisone through my IV as well. I have been mostly sleeping and have little to no energy. My friends, I am in good hands with excellent doctors, nurses, respiratory therapists, hospital chaplains and all sorts of professionals who are working diligently so I can eventually be placed on the road to wellness. My friends, there is something much better in my Life. I am in the Mighty Arms of God. My friends, there is no better place than to be in the Protection of God!         Evelyn Pinto          Novem...

This is the group of children I teach from Saint Clément’s Church. I am with these wonderful and loving children, instructing them and keeping them occupied so the people can enjoy the Celebration of the Mass. I love these children! A grateful,         Evelyn Pinto         November 26, 2019

On Halloween, in the year 2019, we, the people of the building in which I live, had a Halloween Party! This Halloween Party had fun, food, music, dancing, people in costumes and, also, prizes for the best costumes! Entering our building was a very tall Mr. Skeleton! There was a wide range of costumes in different varieties. Among the costumes were Alice in Wonderland, the Mad Hatter, and a Pink Flamingo, Batman, witches, goblins and even a person pumpkin. Me, I was Madame Butterfly and I happened to win the sexiest costume! As I ate a cupcake and pretzels in my butterfly costume, I observed many of us lay back and having fun and enjoying ourselves, while dressed as something (or someone) else. Our Halloween Party was an awesome and amusing means to celebrate Halloween and have fun, while we enjoyed the company each other! Our Halloween Party was a total success, totally! An expression of gratitude and thanks to Lin, our activities Di...

 Evelyn's Birthday Episode Continues...            Evelyn’s 2 Day Birthday Yesterday was my Birthday! Yesterday, my friend, Joan, my mother and my sister, Roseanna visited me, where I live. My sister, Roberta, planned to visit me yesterday but, got held up, until today. So, my friends, my birthday continues… This morning, I spent priceless time with my 2 close friends, Joan and Maureen. It was an awesome time as we caught up with the lives of each other, over coffee! Friends, especially friends like Joan and Maureen, are essential to our own wellbeing as well as keeping us on an even keel. This afternoon (the day after my birthday) was family time! Precious time was spent with my mother, my 2 sisters, (Roseanna and Roberta), my niece, Telia and Bruce (Roseanna’s fiancé). This was a marvelous time spent with my family! Cake was eaten and present were exchanged. My sister, Roseanna, created this cake of...

It’s my Birthday today! Yeah! It has been a magnificent day! I am accessorized in Birthday gifts from the earrings and necklace that Amanda gave me to the red sweater that Tia bequeathed me. My sister, Roseanna, and my mother arrived here, at the building in which I live, late this morning. We enjoyed lunch and many cups of conversation! My sister, Roseanna, created a gift for me like no other. Her gift, which I totally love, is a cake made of flowers. This cake of flowers is just ecstatically spectacular! My sister, Roberta, could not come to my family gathering as planned. Roberta is coming tomorrow. So, my friends, this Birthday episode is continued until tomorrow….           Evelyn Pinto           October 26, 2019

       Meeting God In The  Exam Room,                At The Hospital I wrote this entry in the early morning of May 29, 2013. I edited this script today, October 7, 2019 These were the feelings that I experienced on that traumatic day in May.                               Life: I was at the hospital yesterday. I needed to go in for a routine test, which turned out to be anything but, routine. A nodule was discovered in the 1 st  test. Several other tests followed. I began feeling apprehensive when I saw patients leave, the patients whom had taken that same test after me. I was asked to take a more in depth test, a biopsy. The biopsy was done by a physician almost immediately. I waited for that doctor and the results of the biopsy in what seemed like forever! I wanted to pray but, the only prayers that stutte...
