He addressed the topic of “daily bread,” saying, “as you ask in prayer for your daily bread, consider thoughtfully your needs, both what you may lack and what you must protect against. As you retire to bed, think about the successes and failures of the day and what will make the next day a little better.” He then promised the young adults that “your [daily] reflections will increase your faith in Him as you see His hand helping you to endure some things and to change others. You will be able to rejoice in one more day, one more step toward eternal life.”(I lifted the quote from lds.org.) It's already working. I'm beginning to see things differently and my attitude is beginning to change. Many of my friends said that 2010 was their worst/hardest year yet. That made me sad because my 2010 was fantastic. 2011 is going to be exciting. The past 2 weeks have proven that it will not be easy, but I choose to think that 2011 is going to be "a character building experience". If I continue to take my "daily bread", I'll survive it. I won't be doing it alone.

Can I do it today?
A few years ago my New Year's Resolution was to do something physical, mental, and spiritual every day. It worked out rather nicely for me. This year I'd like to adopt something similar. Sunday night's CES Fireside was perfect.

2010 was actually a great year for me. I wasn't perfect, but that didn't make the year horrible. 2011 is definitely going to be challenging, but I hope I'm ready to face it. Thanks for sharing that thought, I really need to step my spirituality up, a million notches. Cuz I know it would make things so much easier.
