Proud to be an American

GenXer Sharon πŸ™πŸ€

       Team USA πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ brought home some gold !!! That good old feeling from the past never gets old. The feeling of We Did It! We worked hard and won! Absolutely I am so very happy for them. Hockey is not my sport by any means ; but you can be sure I was rooting for my team! So proud of our men and women alike; hard work; perseverance; and lots of practice seems to have served them right. I know each country has its own set of never ending battles and the like; but its moments like these that has always made all sides unite. Sportsmanship and coming together to watch our team win! I may not know anything about hockey but I am so proud to be an American πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ!

    Sharon, this carries such a strong, shared pride… that β€œwe did it” feeling really comes through. I especially appreciate how you highlight the hard work behind the gold, not just the victory itself. Different style or not, it’s heartfelt and sincere. That’s what matters. πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›
