Triteness is not a quality of expression which one should engage in repeatedly. Such expressive lack of profundity, normally accomplished through overuse of a phrase or expression, results from laziness or a lack of effort in embracing the powerful tools of the English language. Thanksgiving succumbs to such triteness, as in we should “all be thankful for our blessings”. It is, above all, a time of respite; of gathering with those whom we love, have shared lives with, and have experienced turmoils, tragedies and comedic relief — that aggregate of which we encapsulate with the phrase, “living life”.
For Federal or Postal employees contemplating preparing, formulating and filing for Federal Disability Retirement benefits from the Office of Personnel Management, whether under FERS or CSRS, utilize the time wisely, to be reflective in the time of respite, in determining what is the best course of action, to allow for recovery and recuperation from one’s medical conditions which are clearly impacting one’s ability/inability to perform all of the essential elements of one’s job, as well as that of the greater role of “living life”.
In triteness of closing, then, have a Happy Thanksgiving.
Sincerely,
Robert R. McGill, Esquire
