Wow, a lot has happened in the last 2 years, and I'm quite happy and as closest to peace as I've ever been! I understand the meaning of life now and my purpose here as well. Soon, hopefully soon, I'll be a Trappist monk, offering the rest of my life to God and to our Blessed mother, Mary. I'd encourage everyone here to seek the "truth." The "truth" being as to why you and everyone is here on this planet that we call Earth. A good start for the "truth" will be in the Bible, and talking with other practicing Christians. Truly, I say to you, only then, will things start to make sense in your life. I promise you this, it is truly the only way. The only way that one can find the closest thing to true peace and happiness on this Earth, and pave the way to eternal happiness in Heaven with Jesus, our one and true Savior.

Any other happiness brought about from the pleasures and material things that aren’t of God, and of the world, will only bring about a false sense of happiness and peace.  Truly, I say to you, one will never have true peace from within if one continues to seek the things and the pleasures of this world.  The ends of these things is truly… emptiness.  One’s heart and soul can and will never be completely fulfilled by anything outside of God’s love.  I speak from true experience, and many other practicing Christians that are strong in their faith would testify to this.

I implore and pray that you all will take what I’m saying seriously.  And to question yourself as to why you exist and for what purpose.  And then to take a look at your lives right now, and to ask yourself, am I happy?  Where is it that I’m going with my life?  Is there any true meaning and value as to the things I’m chasing in this world?

I pray for you all, and will continue to do so till the day I pass away.  I promise that, during my prayers, I’ll offer not only myself and my heart and soul to Jesus, and His most Sacred Heart, but all of you as well, as you all are in my heart.  Such that, when I pray and I offer my heart to Jesus, all of you are being taken as well to His most Sacred Heart, truly burning with fiery love for each and every one of us.  No one is excluded from His love, I promise you all this.

May God and our most blessed loving mother, Mary, bless you all! ^____^

Wow… It has certainly been a very long time. I'm doing great; I haven't cut since my last boyfriend in April or so, but I did have a VERY strong urge last night. I fought it off, and I am fine now, but it was certainly scary. I was truly frightened that I would indeed go back to my horrible habits. I mostly mostly just stressed about school, but everything worked out, so like I said, I'm better today. I have certainly made lots of improvements, especially being able to fight the urge I had last night.I hope everyone is doin well,and I will try to post more often.

Some challenges still remain, but government says it will implement integrated health information systems next year.

By Audra Mahlong, Journalist

The start-up phase for its national electronic health record system will finally begin in 2010, says the Department of Health.

While progress has been slow on the implementation of the system, the department says it will be ready to implement the system next year.

It says all the relevant documentation for the start-up phase of the project has been finalised with the State IT Agency (SITA) and the SITA board. It also reports that consultations with all stakeholders in the private and public sectors have been completed.

SA has embarked on a process of developing a national electronic health record (EHR) for all patients in public hospitals. An EHR is a database of patient health information, which will include demographics, vital signs, medical history, medications, procedures, laboratory data and radiology reports.

SITA and the department were tasked with establishing the requirements for implementing an electronic record system.

The department is also creating an e-health strategy, which will guide all its ICT projects. While noting that existing challenges include adequate ICT infrastructure, bandwidth capacity and meeting approved standards, it says the electronic record is still paramount.

Health minister Aaron Motsoaledi previously stated the current fragmented health information systems and sub-systems would be integrated into a single, national system. The focus of the department would be to establish an integrated national data warehouse for all data sources and tracking of human resources equipment, physical status of facilities and expenditure.

The collection, organisation, reporting, storage and use of data for planning, management and healthcare services would strengthen existing health programmes and help the department achieve its priorities, it notes.

Privacy and confidentiality of individuals' health records will be secured before embarking on the implementation of the system, adds the department. Approved standards, by a recognised body that provides rules and guidelines, would also be in place before the start-up phase.

This would help the department to achieve its priorities and strengthen health programmes through the development of a nationwide integrated system.

Just an update on my story I guess…

It's been a long while since summer. I can't believe how sad and lost I really was looking over my old blogs. It was really the worst my depression had ever been. Well, it's all (let's hope) gone now. For real. It's just…gone away. This past summer was the biggest therapy that actually worked. I just can't believe it. 

Sure, I get stressed still & a little depressed but not for no reason. I feel so free and happy now. 

Ahah, as much as I still would love a social life outside of swim team, but as I mature every day, I realized that homeschooling was better for me educationally. I'm planning on getting more involved with the high school community through my online school and the actual public school here (wish me luck…).

These days, I'm looking positively to the future. It's odd really. I never believed I would make it past 14 years old four years ago…I really thought I would kill myself. I never thought I would be happy. It still surprises me how much I truly lied to myself over this past year with my self-injury. I would hurt myself in many ways, but say that I was over it when in reality I still needed so much help.

While I am very content with my life, I still, STILL, have urges to hurt myself. It's very unsettling as one could imagine. It's so hard to realize that this addiction is still there no matter how much time passes.

I work past it best as possible with my maturity & my athletic exertion. I've also found many friends in my life I never knew were there. My piano teacher, my counselor, my grandparents, my coach. Yeah, they're adults and can't really relate to me well, but it's really…good to talk to someone like them for some reason. It calms me down.

Then there are the friends (what few I have) that are my age. I don't know where I'd be without them. While they're changing as well & falling away from me slowly in the process, I'm determined to maintain our friendships and possibly find new people to talk to. Something that's been fairly easy to accomplish through the new online homeschooling community for high school. I don't want to replace my friends, but I do want to broaden my circle.

 I've started my own anime club for my school, gotten more involved with piano, raising my grades (except for math), getting into photography and once swimming starts I will be whole. I REALLY want some real life friends when I look at my friends I met over the internet who go to schools….I just feel like something's missing from me. I love not dealing with drama, but there's a down side to that as well.

So yeah. Long story short, I am now a very happy and content person. I proved it's possible to defeat depression. Thank you to all the wonderful people here on hopecube; you were definitely a crutch in my time of need. I'm going to try and return that help to you. Thank you.

I've had problems in handling responsibilities at the same time and its been a major reason in my consecutive failures. I remember back in school where I was caught between choosing football practice over my finals in essay writing class. I chose the former and spent another extra year in senior high.There was also this thing with my folks. I was caught up in my first job as a temp that I was not able to make it in their 40th anniversary. I won't even begin in my current job where deadlines are given from left to right. What I'm trying to say is that t bothers me that so many people are capable of juggling work while I find it very difficult to do two things at the same time. Like now, I think I overheated the pasta in the microwave! The room smells of burnt pesto!
