Thanksgiving tips from the Maryland State Bar Association

There is so much to be thankful for, this day.

We often forget, but should try to remember that we are all part of a large circle of folks who support our success.

A wise colleague offered some things to think about.

• During this week of Thanksgiving, take the time to thank your co-workers and employees for their effort and work on your behalf this year.
• Pay a visit to your clients between now and the end of the year to thank them for their business and trust.
  
• Thank your partners for their support of your practice.
  
• Thank your family for their love and support throughout the year.
  
• Call your parents, sisters, brothers and other extended family members to thank them for what they have meant and continue to mean in your life.
  
• Tell your friends what their friendship means to you.
  
• If it is your policy to only take Thanksgiving day as a holiday, take Friday, too.
  
• Spend Thanksgiving with those who mean the most to you - make the effort - you’ll be glad you did. Make the office “off-limits” this holiday.
  
• Though life can be trying and sometimes tragic, be thankful for its joys and triumphs even in the face of adversity.
  
• Have a happy Thanksgiving holiday and keep the memory of those who are not here to celebrate it with us close.

The Maryland State Bar Association, Law Practice Management Division, offered these wonderful words of advice.
