Thought for the Month
Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace.
The soul that knows not knows no release from little things;
Knows not the livid loneliness of fear
Nor mountain heights where bitter joys can hear the sound of wings.
....Amelia Earhart
For your convenience and reference, all issues of Gray Matters are archived by topic and newsletter date on the HR web site on the left sidebar. As always, your feedback on Gray Matters is welcome, as well as suggestions for topics and issues you would like addressed in future newsletters.
