Summary
Sometimes, when we have piles of responsibility on our plate, we start to place a lot of energy, worry and fear into the issues of our lives and fret.

| 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. |
| 0:37.7 | Hi everyone, it's Sally Clarkson and I'm here with my wonderful daughter Joy. Hi everybody, |
| 0:43.0 | it's so good to be with you. And it is dusk here. We've had some candles on with our windows open |
| 0:50.2 | and it's raining and we've had music on and Joy and I are both kind of trying to get back to |

| 1:51.0 | children to take note of yourself, let yourself speak to yourself. And when you start being grumpy |
| 1:58.0 | and when you start being irritated with irrational little tiny things that really don't matter or |
| 2:04.6 | maybe it's different, maybe you cry a lot, maybe you get angry, whatever it is. And this morning |
| 2:10.2 | I had good intentions. I was going to be very wonderful in a responsibility that I had and the |
| 2:16.9 | responsibility took about 30 minutes longer than I was expecting it to and I had an agenda for my day |
| 2:23.8 | and then I became irritated and you know and then I thought that's really not very mature but |
