Summary
I think I would have been so much more content and joyful if I had just known at the beginning that life for me would not be balanced--but could always be meaningful--if I would just accept the limitations of each day, each season, each child, my marriage and my finances--none totally balanced or perfect--but all a blessing.

| 0:00.0 | Hi everyone, welcome to Add Home with Sally. I'm Sally Clarkson and I have the biggest |
| 0:13.0 | privilege in the world to be with so many friends from all over the world who join me every |
| 0:18.6 | week to listen to my stories, inspiration, biblical encouragement. And I am just so glad |
| 0:24.6 | that you're here today. Thanks so much for joining me. |
| 0:37.0 | Hello my friends, how are you? I hope you're having a good day. My day has been crazy. |
| 0:43.6 | This is Sally Clarkson at Home with Sally and friends and I just really am so blessed to have all of you here. |
| 0:51.5 | It feels like I hear your notes and I receive your notes and I read them and I pray for you and I hear your stories |
| 1:00.0 | and they make me giggle and they make me tear up. It depends on what it is I'm hearing. Any old way tonight I just |

| 1:26.1 | almost out of gas when I got home and you know we didn't have enough lettuce for salad for everyone |
| 1:34.0 | because with this many adults home all of a sudden it feels like I'm just constantly buying food and |

| 2:08.1 | Scotland and so we are just a hysterical family and I sometimes laugh because people have some kind of an |
| 2:15.5 | imagination which I think is very easy to do when you meet someone online to think that our lives are somehow calm |
| 2:23.3 | or perfect or controllable. There are times I wonder if you feel like this where I think I wonder if there's |
| 2:31.6 | someplace I could move in the world like maybe you move out somewhere on the mountain in the mountains and |
| 2:38.2 | sit on the deck and drink cups of hot tea and ponder life and have time for everyone and have time for an |
