Lucia was very pleased with herself. She had braved leaving the den on her own and was heading to the nearby pond with her rag doll stuffed in her mouth. She had been adventitious but tentative. She did not to travel too far from the den so the pond seemed the perfect compromise. She loved going out of the den and seeing what was out there. There was so much of the world she hadn't seen yet so she made it her goal to broaden her grasp of the world at least once a week preferably more if she could manage.
She tripped over a branch and rolled until she hit a rock. That was almost fun! Except for the hitting the rock part. She got herself back on her feet, and continued to the pond she'd be there in a few short minutes. Of course that felt like an eternity sometimes. Finally she reached the pond and placed her rag doll near the bank. She put her head on the rag doll, and just observed the water. It was so calming. It was like she could stare at the reflective pool for hours and hours on end. She yawned tiredly. The journey to the pond had made her sleepy.
