Monday crawls out of bed, Barely awake. Staggering to The breakfast table, Reaching for juice.
 
 
 Paying the Price 
 by Justin Bertolero 
 
 Life is like a credit card. 
 At first you feel empowered, 
 spending to your heart’s desire. 
 
 But of course, 
 nothing can last… 
 
 
 So after that rush of excitement and glee, You suddenly remember, 
 
 Nothing is free.

The Sounds of Winter by Justin Bertolero

Snow whispers To the people It’s falling upon In the bleak sunlight Its brilliant sparkling voice quietly echoes as each flake, softly falls to the ground.

Miss Manners Corner by Jessica Turner

Do you have trouble with saying the right thing or knowing how to break-up with someone without being weird or rude? Peggy Post’s book, “Excuse Me, But I was Next…” says it all. Believe it or not, printing your Christmas Cards with your name already on it is really more appropriate for business. It is best to sign the cards yourself and address them person whom you are writing to, for example, “Dear Tom and Sandy”. Also, personalize the card with something like, “How is the new dog? We would love to hear about her!” Don’t forget to leave out excessive bragging about yourself or family.

Another subject: Relationships. If you feel that it is time to break-up with someone, here’s how. Look for a quiet place where the person won’t be embarrassed or observed by onlookers. Kindly tell them, and make sure they are calm before you leave. Consider where the angry friend could go next, such as a acar or other vechicle - you don’t want them to drive while highly emotional or do 
 something to harm themself. 
 
 This book has lots of great ideas. Check it out at 
 the library.

 September slinks in, 
 Clandestinely, stealthily, 
 Suddenly, it steals your summer away 
 And throws you, bewildered, into school
