Monday Morning Match is a short post – maybe a quote, inspirational story or idea – intended to spark some motivation inside each of you so your week gets off to a fantastic start on Monday morning.

Monday is Valentine’s Day.

It’s a day to celebrate being in love if you’re lucky enough to be in it.

It’s a day to celebrate with someone special, if you’re lucky enough to have someone special.

It’s a day for flowers.

It’s a day for chocolate. (But then again, isn’t every day?)

It’s a day for dining out or cooking in. Will it be a steak or salmon? Pasta or prime rib?

It’s a day for candy hearts with little messages on them. “You’re Cute” or “Be Mine” or “Hug Me” or “Wanna Kiss?”

It could be a day for broken hearts?

It’s a day to “bring sexy back” or perhaps a day for awkward first kisses.

It’s day for first dates or fiftieth anniversaries.

It’s a day to rent “Sleepless in Seattle” or “Pretty Woman.”

It’s a day for elementary school children to pass around cards to every other kid in their classroom, asking them to “Be My Valentine.”

It’s a day for L-O-V-E.

Need a REALITY CHECK?

It’s also a Monday… so please, don’t forget to focus on the important things you’ve got to get done before you go home early to chill the wine, turn on the Barry White and spread the rose petals on the floor.

One thing I know is that I love what I do. I try to be passionate about it and I hope it shows.

Now get out there and have a great week. Don’t forget to build relationships, solve problems and have fun. Oh yeah…and tell somebody you love them.
