Summary

Sometimes we don't realize how much life and duty have drained us and how much we need filling. But it isn't the activities, "things" or accomplishments we need—it is the real live moments of relationship and loving one another well, to be heard, to feel close and understood that create the type of relationship we all long for.

0:00.0	Hello, my friends, and welcome to Life with Sally podcast. I'm so glad you're here, so please make yourself a cup of tea and come on in.
0:46.1	Hello, my friends, it's Sally Clarkson. I'm so glad you joined me today. You are finding me in one of the outskirts of London,
0:57.0	where I am having a very wonderful time visiting one of my children. Actually, I have been able to see Joy, who is a teacher at King's College with her husband. I'm here to hopefully be with my daughter, Sarah, as she births her fifth child
1:04.9	into the world, and we're still waiting happily for that. And I get to spend time with my musician composer son, Joel.
1:14.3	He's coming to be with me for a couple of nights. And I couldn't be happier. And so this is going to be
1:20.6	a little bit out of the ordinary. And it was last week as well. We told you all about our wonderful time
1:27.1	at Lime Park, which is the place where
1:30.5	Pemberley was partially videotaped for the 1995 version of Pride and Prejudice, which is our
1:40.2	favorite one. Well, we have had so much fun, and Joy had said, Mama, I want you to come
1:46.7	visit me for 10 days, just me. And so we did. And we have eaten more than anyone has a right to
1:54.6	eat. And we have walked five miles a day doing different things. I've gone with them to work. I've gone with them

2:09.1	promised joy that for her 30th birthday, I would take her to some really fun place for a formal tea.
2:17.9	And oh my goodness, we had the best tea the other day that I think I've ever had.
2:22.7	Why did I like it?
2:23.8	Well, partially, it's kind of one of the things I'm going to tell you about today.
2:30.4	But I think that one of the spiritual aspect I'm going to come to you with today because I know that my Joel will be here sometime soon and I want to be able to still have my podcasts.
2:43.1	But I think that I have been deeply, deeply touched on this trip.
2:49.2	I have been taken care of. I have been thought of. I have been
2:54.4	given words of affirmation and encouragement. And I was thinking about how important it is
3:02.6	that as people and as women and as mothers, that we really understand what really matters in life.
