Month 9 Challenge Update - September

September flew by so fast that I'm doing my monthly challenge update halfway through October.  Crazy!  Is this something I'm going to have to get used to about my life these days?  As far as my challenge goes, it's taking me down its ever winding path...the key piece is routine and a positive feedback loop. Basically, getting the ball rolling and enjoying how it rolls makes keeping it rolling a lot easier.  So at this point, I've created my daily routine that is good for me mentally, physically, and emotionally and I'm just going along my days doing it.  Key things in my marriage, my finances, and my son's health are being addressed.  My own health is just moving along.  I'm spending most of my time with my son, who's 1/2 day in kindergarten, and when he's at school I'm painting or meeting with my husband.

"Living life is like constructing a building; if you start wrong, you'll end wrong."  - Maya Angelou

Part of falling backwards is reworking the foundation of your life and trusting what will be built as a result.  It's letting go of the urgent business of survival and focusing instead on what's most important overall.  It's giving yourself a chance to right what was wrong so your building and your life are strong.

The question for me now is, what's going to happen as a result?  My challenge technically ends in 2 and 1/2 months.  A week ago, I up and quit my job based on instinct.  We have very little money.  What will happen?  Will we be provided for?  I made a few calls, feel open to what comes.  So what will?  And how will it affect my life overall?
