This week has been a tough one at our house — we are coughing and blowing our noses and praying for our colds to go away.  “Me” no like to be sick! 🙁    I am happy that I have the weekend ahead to “re-group” and rest.

Here in no particular order are 10 things I learned this week:

1.  Monday was National Napping Day.  Don’t you think a daily Siesta would be a good thing?

2.  In marriage there is a winning strategy.  (Great post from Lisa with Club 31 Women!)

3.  A well-lived life is worthy of honor.  Just ask Dan Cathy… (loved this post about his dad.)

4.  I downloaded two wonderful new albums this week — Zion by Hillsong United and Let the Future Begin by Passion.  Both excellent CDs!

5.  March 14th is apparently “Pi Day” — this is a holiday dedicated to Math, or to eating Pie for those who like to celebrate with calories.

6.  I finally discovered a simple way to create a cool quote graphic.  Here is my Pinterest board with some web sites that help you do this “easy peasy.”

7.  Google Reader is going to die.  (Boo hoo!)  — This week I tested Feedly as an alternative for reading my favorite blogs and really liked it.

8.  I need to pray more faithfully for the parents of special needs children.  I read several blog posts this week written by courageous parents who walk out their faith in a way I will never understand.  Here is a video about Byron, Susan, and their sweet Allie that will touch your heart.

9.  A bookstore can be a great place to spend date night.  (See here for some inspiration.)

10.  Favorite quote of the week: “Don’t say, ‘God, here is my problem.’ Say, ‘Problem, here is my God!'” – T.F.Tenney (Thank you, Rayni for tweeting this!).

Q4U:  What did you learn this week?
