April 26, 1841

I took a walk today around the farm. And I've realized, the world really is a beautiful place. I thank God for bringing me here. I wouldn't want to be anywhere but here. The Oregon Country has really made me think about life and how some people out there are suffering, and how I'm here, safe and sound. The scenery here is magnificent. I'm writing this to tell you that in the  Oregon Country, you can find a sense of peace; of tranquility. That you won't just get a good life money-wise or economically. Although this was a short post, I just wanted to get this out today. I feel like I can't just keep the greatness of where I live to myself. I want to share it.
