Legally Rambling (January 30, 2012). Back in the Blogosphere. Oh, what I have learned in the time away. The practice of law is still as awesome as ever. But, my wife taught me an old, but important lesson this weekend. The Art of Reset.
Now most of us type Aers don't think a break is a necessary item. However, some studies have revealed that at seven weeks we lose it - the blade starts to go dull.
This weekend my wife decided we would take a night off - no friends, family, kids, animals, no dealing with exs or their incidentals - just the two of us at the Ritz-Carlton Dallas (my compliments to all who work there). What an amazing experience!
And, then you realize it's the break!
We get so caught up in the "daily drama" that we forget our inner voice, we don't realize how magical the person we fell in love with truly is, we don't realize the importance of doing what we are doing because, quite frankly we are just "doing it". Don't just do it! If you are, then you seriously need a break!
It's also a huge lesson for young lawyers - boundaries (more to come on this topic through-out the year)!
Don't let the man, the practice, clients, your firm, or your boss grind you down! It's Ok to take a break.
One of my legal assistants and my associate attorney did today and I survived!!
Ramble On!
