#SOL22 We Are The Champions Day 31 of 31

And so here it is....March 31! The end of the 2022 March SOLSC! WE did it!

As we got ready for this year's challenge, I must admit I was nervous. My slicing track record on Tuesday has been unremarkable. I've had a hard time getting into my writing groove. I felt uninspired and blocked. But I wanted to be part of the challenge and I wanted to get out of my writing rut.

I thought music might inspire me. I decided to choose a song each day as the title of my blog posts and the song would relate to what was happening that day. It really helped me. When I listen to my playlist now, I can remember the story of that day. I curated the playlist and you could find it here. 
​

All month long, I envisioned the last day's song being "My Way". But when I went to write the post, that just didn't seem right anymore. "We Are The Champions" felt much more appropriate. Because- we are. In 2022, with war on our tv and COVID-19 fears still swirling, with a million reasons why this challenge would be too much work and too difficult- we did it. We showed up day after day to tell stories. To bear witness to each other's stories. To comment in support or understanding or validation. There were no prizes this year- no weekends at Highlights or amazing books to win. Still, we showed. Still, we wrote. Still, we told our truths in 6 word memoirs, in poems, in personal narratives, with humor or with sadness. 

"We are the champions...." 

Thanks for being part of the TWT 2022 March SOLSC! I hope we meet again on Tuesdays throughout the year and or course, next March.
