legal sanity

Carolyn Elefant of My Shingle has written a great article on the everyday ways lawyers can express gratitude to colleagues, staff, court clerks, clients and others we often forget to properly acknowledge. I particularly like her idea of remembering to thank the legal profession that supports us. Along these same lines, I feel it’s important to thank yourself for all the great service you provide to your clients, business associates and larger community. Self-acknowledgement is not about ego. It’s about duly valuing the very important contributions you make in the world every day. I’m also grateful for being able to publish my thoughts to the four corners via this blog. It gives me an extra measure of professional and personal satisfaction. I wish a very happy thanksgiving to all of you celebrating today.
