In a time when hard work and long hours are basic requirements for survival, it is hard to do anything but law, or be anything but a lawyer. My friend s solution was to leave law, even though there were parts of the practice she loved. She had lost her balance and her time. Personally, I don t buy the whole concept. Life needs mixing, not subdividing.
Life is to be blended, tossed and savored at any point, anytime.
Life tastes better when its stirred, simmered and seasoned. Tape-record a joke to your secretary right in the middle of the pleading you are dictating. Take your wife or husband roses at lunch, in the middle of your jury trial. Take your little girl to work for the morning. In my life, it s important that I take the whole family, dog and all, to work every day.
