My first day trip alone

Last saturday, I finally done something that I had not done before. I went on my first day trip alone. I always felt that to go somewhere, I had to take someone with me. But after all that I have been going through in the past six months. I felt that I really needed to get away alone, and deserved it. So I went to a lake that was some distance from my home. One of my guy friends had suggested it, he said it is a very quiet and peaceful place. So I went, he was right, it was the idea place for me to go alone for the first time. There was a misty rain for awhile, then it cleared up, it was beautifully peaceful. I got to see my first heron, toke pictures while I was there. I spent the whole afternoon there, and am planning on going back.
Right before I left my daughter called me, to tell me that her knee had given out, and that she had fallen, while she was carrying her 4 month old son. She was home alone and no one could come to help her. I thought to myself, of all the times I pick to go on a longer distance trip, then this happens. But, after I calmed myself down, I told myself, that I still deserved to get away alone. That things like my daughter falling would and could happen whether I was there or not.
