I've never known anyone yet who doesn't suffer a certain restlessness when autumn rolls around… We're all eight years old again and anything is possible.
— Sue Grafton
Restless.
That's a good word to describe how I'm feeling these days, caught between needs and wants.
Not material wants, but those Dream kind, and my inner 8-year-old believes they are still possible, still worth chasing.
I'm going for the gold…
…pursuing my dreams, polishing relationships with family and friends, trying to become a better me.
I never suspected that at 51, I would feel like an autumn leaf… a unique collage of colors, a beautiful blending of the seasons of my life.
I like this feeling.

My blog friend Jillsy has a weekly challenge, One Word Wednesday, and she let me pick this week's word: Gold.
