Don't like on Facebook today, Love on it.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! I've seen a lot of posts so far today going in both directions - some people excited for today, other looking forward to February 15th. While I can understand that it may be a tough day if you don't have someone special to share it with, that's no excuse. Chances are you have plenty of people to share it with in one way or another. Look at your friends list on Facebook - who haven't you spoken to lately? Who should know that they matter to you? Use today as an opportunity to reach out to others and let them know that you care, that you love them! You don't need to send chocolates or flowers to make someone feel special, you simply need to take a small amount of time to say or do something nice for them.

I lead a really busy life, so being able to connect with folks over Facebook, email, twitter, text message, etc is critical. It's easy to say you're too busy - but make that effort today (and everyday!)...but especially today.

This is why Facebook should create a "Love" button for Valentine's day.

 Klout changed their format to be hearts and "kisses" for today - I'd expect at least this much from our friends at Facebook. How nice would it have been to open your homepage and see friends who love you this morning?

 People have been demanding a "dislike" button for years - and I guess I get it. What do you do when someone posts something that is sad or annoying? "Hey, I got a flat tire on the way to work today"...Like! But in the spirit of positivity, Facebook needs a love button, if only once a year. It would be a fun way to celebrate the holiday that everyone could enjoy, and truly give social networking a new dimension.

It may be too late for Valentine's Day 2012, but on February 14, 2013, I fully expect to see a "Love" button on Facebook. What can we do today in lieu of this mythical button? Easy - just love the old fashioned way; by letting people know they matter to you and being your best version of you for everyone in your life. You can't be too busy for that. How are you loving others today?

Drive Slow.
