Through the Mist

I had dog once; it was a cute little greyhound. I miss her and had to give her up to a dog shelter 2 years ago. She was the perfect dog, she did not make messes, she went to the bathroom outside, and my personal favorite; she would rip off her fancy dog collars and fling them onto the coat rack. We were the best of friends, but times were hard and I had to move from my split-ranch because of my ex. I was forced into an apartment that did not allow pets and my family members disliked dogs. I still remember the doe like eyes as I left her at this animal shelter, the sounds of the other animals sent a shiver down my spine and I realized that when it rains, boy does it pour.

If I have a vacation, the place I want to go is the Mookambika Temple. It is in Karnataka State .I want to see Mookambika Devi –Goddess of Vidya. I will go with my husband and children. I want to pray for my children to be blessed in their studies. I want to bathe in the nearby souparnika River, and visit the Kudajadri. One can purify their sins by visiting these places.

This Christmas holidays started from December 20th. All the children and relatives came and it create a festival atmosphere in the house. House was crowded and noisy. Women were busy in the kitchen preparing dishes. Their love and care increased the taste of the dishes. All are happy. In the evenings we enjoyed in the river banks playing and seeing sunset. When the vacations are over, all were sad to depart. The departure of the beloved is the thing we dislike in this holiday. But the hope to meet in the coming holidays is the only wish we had.

I have only prayers to God not to make evil or bad things in this New Year. Don’t soak us in grief or troubles. At the same time I pray before him to remove the evil thoughts from our mind and make it clear. Being kind hearted we can live in close touch with God. Then we can minimize our grief. To be a kind lovable person is the only thing. I am looking forward. To be a worse, unrespectable person is the thing that I am not looking forward.
