Hey, it's Kelly, and at the end of every week, I like to share something true and useful,

something I stumbled over that gave me a burst of optimism, something you can share with

friends like an audio greeting card, something to help us all keep our eyes on what's working

and what could be.

So, I'll be right back with this week's For The Good of the Order.

This is Kelly Corgan Wonders.

Hey, guys, so for this week's For The Good of the Order, I want to start by reading a note

that I got from a listener who was kind of correcting me on something really important

and opening my eyes to something that I was missing.

And I just want to say is that we get so many cool notes from people, and I just want

you to know that I read them all.

And it takes me months, and I do it on rainy days or days when I have a cold, or when I'm

feeling kind of crappy and like it's all just too much work and I should just retire.

Which of course, everyone feels that way sometimes, and I have no exception.

But these sorts of things really keep me going.

So here it is.

Dear Kelly Corgan, am I bossy enough to be writing Kelly Freakin Corgan on this Hectic Thursday

afternoon when I don't technically have the time to do so?

Apparently I am.

I don't know if it's because I just finished reading, being mortal this morning, which

you recommended, or if I'm just tired of the snagging feeling that I should write you

and ask you a question I've been kicking around for a long time.
