April 19th here, wish I could apply that “perpetual state of moving backwards but standing still at the same time to my age.

Just finished a day of being a triathlon rescue kayaker. Against the lake’s large rollers, the swimmers requiring a rest island needed me to create precisely that state against the waves rolling force.

Oddly, I’m learning through my gratitude journalling there can be value and purpose found in every state. My being there for the struggling, gave me back so much more in changing and strengthening my mindset.

Look at how your writing has engaged the community you needed. That is writing with purpose and meaning that brings about change.
