John wonders why anyone should beunfaithful. He is of the old school where ahandshake is his word; yet has always feltthat in a man–woman relationship it isimportant to see that faithfulnessis the primary requisite. He likesto preach this especially whenMary is with him.
He’ll come out with “here’sMary, she knows that I don’tcheat on her. Why would I? Shealways knows where I am sinceshe also works in my office. Ofcourse she always knows where I am in theevening. Even when we aren’t together sheknows where I’ve gone and she has no rea-son to worry about me. She knows that Iam faithful to her.” His friends and associ-ates hear this and either silently agree ordisagree. They look at their wives or girl-friends and silently compare themselvesto John.
Sometimes it can be boring listening toJohn for an entire evening. With a few
drinks under his belt he has been known togive a play by play of the physical part oftheir relationship. And that can be very bor-ing. Mary sits there and blushes while
gauging the reactions of thewomen present.
Mary will tolerate quite a bitsince her ex-husband was a run-ner who drank and occasionallyslugged her. This doesn’t happenwith John, now she doesn’t fearany of this with him. She knowshe is faithful to her because she
always knows where he is. And there is nohint of him going off their reservation. Heis faithful to her yes, but he is unfaithful tohis wife. Mary is his girlfriend. It’s the wifethat never knows.
One thing Mary knows, no matter whathappens she will never marry John. Shemarries him and just like that, he’ll findsomeone else to be faithful to. As far as sheis concerned being faithful a-la-John?
No way... no way.

It is the nature of human beings to tryto understand the world around them. Theywant to understand why some people lead acharmed life while others lead a life of suf-fering.
While it is true that there are many pos-sible explanations, it does not mean thatthey are the only explanations. Whicheverbelief you hold to be true you need to beaware of the psychological dilemmas andpitfalls that can arise as a result.
The most common explanations andassumptions about life have to do withKarma. Many people believe that their cur-rent lives are some sort of pay back for theirdeeds in other lives. If you believe this youmay judge others unfairly. You may covettheir rewards and dismiss their suffering asa justifiable punishment. Psychologically,it is important to allow that some people’slives and good fortunes or misfortunes are
not based on whether or not they deserverewards or punishments.
Other people believe that you choose totake on your current life with all of its ram-ifications before you are born. If youbelieve this you may tend to be insensitiveand lack compassion. It is important to besympathetic to the misfortunes of othersand yourself. This belief can foster angerwith yourself if you choose a life you don’twant and you don’t like.
While others believe that it is “The luckof the draw”. They believe that things hap-pen to people by chance. That it is destiny,fate or serendipity. This is the least judg-mental belief. However, this belief can pre-vent you and others from trying to improveyour life.
Still others believe that they are here tolearn lessons. This places a lot of responsi-bility on the individual with consequencesif they don’t figure out the lesson correctly.
You may retain your beliefs but beaware of the pitfalls of those beliefs. Takesteps to open your mind and your heartregardless of what you believe.

British General William Howe and hisofficers rested in comfortable winter quartersin Philadelphia, as eighteenth century war-fare remained “a seasonal business.” Howesaw no reason to fight in cold weather, aswell as his having confidence they coulddefeat George Washington and his rag-tailedill-trained troops at any time they desired.Washington struggled at Valley Forge withbaffling questions of housing, feeding, pro-viding clothing and other essentials, as his4,000 vagabond, threadbare men lacked evena single blanket. Some were without shoes.The Continental treasury was bankrupt. Itwas a scene of misery, as disease was ram-pant with unsanitary conditions. Men weredying as others deserted. The only thing thatheld the shaky army together wasWashington’s moral strength.
Three amazing things happened at thatmost critical time. A newcomer arrived sentby Benjamin Franklin in Paris, namelyFriedrich Wilhelm Ludolf GerhardAugustin, Baron von Steuben, who had
served as a Prussian captain in a Europeanwar. Von Steuben, who saw the incrediblybad conditions, was the tough drillmasterthat Washington needed desperately. VonSteuben instilled discipline, eliminatedunhealthy conditions and prepared theContinental army for combat, including theproper use of the bayonet.
With the projectable shortage of sol-diers, a Colonial General from Rhode Islandasked the unthinkable of Washington, a slaveowning Virginia planter, “the right to recruitblack troops.” Knowing it was an incendiaryidea for southerners, Washington, desperatefor manpower, approved the request. RhodeIsland promised to free all slaves willing tojoin an all-black battalion. Massachusettsand Connecticut soon followed. Soon, 755blacks or 5 % of the Continental Army wereblack. The confident Negro soldiers soonproved their merit and were excellent underarms.
As the Continental Army “huddled byfires at Valley Forge,” word reachedWashington that Franklin “had pulled off amagnificent diplomatic feat in Paris – onFebruary 6, France recognized Americanindependence and offered a military allianceand financial support.” Washington had thetreaty read aloud to his troops, followed bythe firing of thirteen cannons. It was a timeof thanksgiving for Continental soldiers whosurvived the horrid winter.

The employees of the City of MiamiBeach Fire Rescue Department are fightingmore than just flames these days. By grow-ing out their mustaches, they were able toraise more than $2,000 for Mount SinaiMedical Center. The fundraising campaignwas for “Movember” - an initiative wheremen grew out their mustaches during themonth of November to help raise awarenessand funds for men’s health issues, such asprostate and testicular cancer.“It is absolutely spectacular to think that
the people we work with every day dealingwith emergencies are now working with us
on the prevention of illnesses such as can-cer,” said Mount Sinai President and CEO,Steve Sonenreich.To make the check presentation, approxi-
mately 30 City of Miami Beach Fire Rescueemployees arrived toMount Sinai on fire trucks,sporting full mustaches and light blue T-shirts,the color for prostate cancer awareness.“If we can help someone wake up health-
ier and happier by just growing out our mus-taches for a month, then so be it,” saidfirefighter Anthony Wilson, who helpedspearhead the fundraising initiative withinhis department.

The men ended the month with one finalfundraising initiative at Finnegan’s on OceanDrive where they accepted donations toshave off their mustaches. City of MiamiBeach Fire Chief, Javier Otero and AssistantChief, Jorge Sanabria, took it one step fur-ther and agreed to shave their entire headsfor the cause. All proceeds from this eventwere also donated to Mount Sinai.
Prostate cancer is the second leading causeof death in men. The American Cancer So-ciety estimates that there will be over241,000 new cases of prostate cancer in theUnited States this year alone.

FPLcustomers already have the low-est typical bill in the state, andEnergy Awareness Month pro-vided the opportunity to remindcustomers how to make billseven lower.“Simple changes around your
home can add up to make a bigdifference – both in terms of saving energyand money,” said FPL Vice President ofMarketing and Communication Tim Fitz-patrick. “We wanted to learn from our cus-tomers what they consider to be their bestkept secrets to saving energy. Hopefully oth-ers will follow their advice and take steps toalso stay energy fit.”So how do they do it? Here is a sampling
of some of the most creative ideas receivedfrom customers since Oct 1. The tips havebeen reviewed by FPL energy experts, whohave green-lighted them as some of thequickest and most effective ways to trimcosts, conserve energy and gain control overenergy use in homes:
• Madai Parra says thermal curtains arecool, literally and figuratively, so give thema try!•Timothy Moore spins clothes in the
washer two extra times as it cuts dryer timeup to half. Also, he removes lighter clothesas they dry, preventing overheating and al-lowing heavier items to dry faster.•According to Cameron Comer, keeping
the hot water heater breaker off until the endof the day, when doing dishes and taking ashower, can provide additional energy sav-ings.•Marcella Waldron dries clothes on the
lowest setting and doesn’t overload thedryer.
