Hey friends, welcome to the Rhythms for Life Podcast where each week we talk about four rhythms

that help you reduce stress and anxiety and take charge of your emotional health. Rest,

restore, connect, create. These ideas come from Rebecca's best-selling book,

Rhythms of Renewal, trading stress and anxiety for a life of peace and purpose. So grab your

copy, invite your friends and let's live in rhythm. Welcome back I'm Rebecca and I'm Gabe

and Father's Day week. Father's Day week. I hope you guys had an amazing Sunday feeling celebrated.

I felt so celebrated. Good. I'm glad you did such a good job. We did. We were intentional

this year because often we are on our way to Lost Valley Ranch on Father's Day and it means

a lot of airplanes and juggling kids. Yeah it's a lot of me being a good dad but not necessarily

feeling appreciated. Sit back, relaxing and watching the US Open which is what it used to be for

me on Father's Day. I used to enjoy us on the afternoon US Open and now that every year we have

this tradition of going out and spending time at Lost Valley Ranch which we just love this place

and our kids love it. It's been a great tradition but Father's Day your intentionality to just

yeah so we got to celebrate early we decided to do it when we were all going to be home and

together and had a big breakfast together and Rebecca had each kid sharing favorite memories

this year and it was just a meaningful year of feeling. Feeling all the love. Feeling all the love

from your family. Yeah it was good and it's so sweet as our kids get older they really do find

words you know I mean obviously Kate and Joy are like we love you but it's it's wild to like

raise kids that are now adults that are still just so honoring and even the things and insights

they bring and that they see like you and I don't even ever think about right and they just bring

it to the table and you're like oh I didn't know that that was actually something they were processing

or taking in but but it's so sweet to see that come full circle when they share that back with you.
