No golf tournament this week has left me with nothing to look forward to. No hopes, no highs, no aspirations. Sent Freak an email this morning and no response. He's obviously rejecting me. Picked up a lucky horseshoe from the side of the road. Took 7 stitches to close the wound from the horseshoe nail. Thought something sweet might help me out of the dumps. All my treats expired yesterday. As I got in my car to drive to a doctor's appointment, I thought, what a great dependable car this has been. Called AAA, wouldn't start. The doctor told me that he hasn't found a treatment for what I have. He asked if I would mind paying up front rather than being billed. Later, I called the local pastor seeking help. I told him I was having some fatalistic thoughts. He said, It's poker night. Call back tomorrow. Called suicide prevention hotline, got put on hold. Then, disconnected. So, yeah, bartender, I'll have another whiskey.

I'm good, dude. Just thinking about so many who have these thoughts and don't get recognized or receive the help they need. Sort of a shout out from me for all the brothers and sisters out there suffering.

I've mentioned before about me and my pastor doing Bible study at the men's home. It's a recovery/kinda halfway house for addiction. It's sincerely heartbreaking to talk to some of these guys, and they really feel like everyone has given up on them. Unless it's an emergency, I'll not skip my turn ever, even if I'm having a bad day. I'm a goofball here, but with tgat stuff I do my best to make those guys feel like I sincerely care, and will be there for them.

Good job, Joe. Counseling is all important because most don't broadcast their feelings. The short weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas are when people act on these feeling/emotions and decide the best thing for them is to end it all. End their suffering. Afterwards, most family and friends said they never saw it coming. And, they didn't. I think many of them suffer unbearably until they make the decision. And then, they exude peace and happiness. Most take it as a sign that things are better, until they get the news.
