Hi everybody, this short segment is what we call for the good of the order.

It's something we used to do at the end of my sorority meetings if you can believe that,

where someone would share something that they came across in the course of the week,

a poem, a song lyric, a short story, that they found enormously helpful as they went

about daily life.

And I wanted to pick up the thread because I am so often wowed by something I see in

the world that I want to bring back and hand off to you.

So every Friday, we produce a short segment called for the good of the order.

Think of it like an audio greeting card.

A thing to share with the people that you love around the country who you don't get to

see or talk to enough.

A thing to discuss with the people you do see and talk to on a more regular basis.

This is Kelly Corrigan Wonders for the good of the order.

This week's go-to is a quick hit on being very intentional about what we take in.

For some time now, it's been an agreed upon fact that if you can afford to make fruits

and vegetables part of your daily diet, you should.

Expensive, perishable, and not as fun as pizza, but nonetheless, we eat them if we can because

they help keep our insides running smoothly.

What may have been easier to ignore is that what we put in front of our eyes and into

our ears changes our insides too.

As anyone who has ever cried reading a book or dance to music can attest, we can be made

to feel anything, from vitriol to boredom to tear-jerking compassion.
