21 A lady has her benefits stopped. We step in.
Her benefits got cut, stopped with no notice, so she's panicking and stressed because she got no money. She gets in touch, we do a shop and deliver it for her. Like Superman, but with Aldi bags and no cape. Or laser eyes. But even so. Thanks to our heroic subscribers we can fly to assist.

13. Friendly litter pick up
Funny one this. I saw the toppled recycling bin earlier in the day, all the bottles all over the street, and I meant to drive by later and pick them up. Then forgot about it, and five hours later, arriving home, remembered I had forgotten. So I drove back, and just as I got there I saw another gu...

10. Struggling with the feeling
Sometimes we don't feel compassionate. What then? Perhaps being compassionate isn't a feeling, sometimes, perhaps more than that it's a decision. To be compassionate even when we are feeling uncompassionate... perhaps this is a higher compassion..?
