Sales Contract

5:25 PM No Comments

The sales contract came through today. I am a little tied up in knots; excited, nervous, scared all at once.

To get here has taken a long time (years) and I am still not sure it's for me. I never seem to be completely sure of anything I guess but none the less, this is the path I have chosen.

Some years ago my father died, this affected me quite considerably, I am not even sure why. This led me into some reflection, then depression (self diagnosed), a break up of my marriage and me distancing myself from my friends as I tried to sort things out in my own head, to give myself a proper sense of perspective. I have never been one for ensuring friendships are kept close, which probably means they are more like acquaintances, albeit some have helped me more then they know.

My only incredible regret in life (so far) is how badly I have made my ex-wife feel, she deserved so much more, she truly is a wonderful person but I walked away from her, she tried so very hard, and the pain she feels, for one she loves so dearly, is palpable.

I had been reading a book at the time I was driving around, something non fiction, and a quote from it resonated with me as soon as I visited the property originally, so to me, this is how it will always be know. I am going to have to find someone that knows Yiddish, so that I ensure I pronounce it properly.

Why the name ? Menucha nechona = Loosely translated from the Yiddish apparently means "Perfect Rest". Something I ache for, metaphorically.
