Nagging
By William R Colagrande MS · Comments (0)
Nagging. This phenomenon is an all too real aspect of almost any relationship of long standing. How does it start? When does it come about?

Heaven Scent
By William R Colagrande MS · Comments (0)

Waiting
By William R Colagrande MS · Comments (0)
Waiting. Most of us can’t stand waiting. Waiting in the check-out line, waiting in traffic, waiting on-hold when trying to connect to a customer service rep, the list is endless.
