Suggesting a little action on behalf of our beloved California Peggy
Here is her post about upcoming exploratory surgery,https://www.democraticunderground.com/1036152178
and her stalwart and stoic acceptation of a scary hard time in the near future.
We hear the phrase “thoughts and prayers” so much that I have stopped saying it a good while back.
Especially in these turbulent days.
May I tell you about an African proverb that has recently come to my attention and I have begun to love and apply whenever possible:
The African proverb, often quoted as "When you pray, move your feet," emphasizes that faith requires action, not just words or thoughts. It serves as a call to action, reminding people to actively participate in the process of achieving their goals or making a difference in the world, combining spiritual belief with practical effort to manifest change.
Now I realize we are a widespread group, and can’t move our feet with our prayers and our thoughts during her ordeal.
What we can do is send her a few words she is not expecting, and tell her what she means to us.

thank you for the heads up Mira! 
From your Farmers Market pix to hosting the photo contests & everything in between.
I will be holding you in positive healing thoughts. 
I hope the positive thoughts sent to you from DUers will only enhance that. Sending you strength.
Thanks 
this is all i can offer ..
I wanted to say GOAT...but I'm not a kid anymore. Nothing but positive thoughts for you. 
steady and strong prayers for a complete recovery as soon as possible.
Love ya. 
I don't recall any direct interaction with you. I basically just rec all your photos and descriptions of your surroundings.
You strike me as being a kind, observant, and generous person by sharing your world with us. Your posts calm me and remind me of the beauty that is all around us. It inspires me to notice the beauty that surrounds me.
I hope you post soon after your recuperation. And one final thought...
I'm so grateful the "rapture" didn't take either one of us!
Here is a bit of the beauty I see around me...
