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. I'm Gabe. Happy

December or December first. It's fun that December is here for all of us. I know you've been following

our journey. Our Christmas tree's been up now for a couple weeks but it does feel like Christmas

is upon us and Advent starts today. I hope everybody had a great Thanksgiving, a little pause, a

moment with family, extra feasting. We definitely did a little bit of that. We were in Florida

with all my family and extended family. We did get to Disney World Joy which was wonderful.

It was crowded as you would expect and it was a little bit like swerving through a sea of ants

to get on the rides. We did make the mistake of her first Disney ride being pirates. Yeah,

that was a terrible choice. It was just the way that kind of fast-passed thing worked and so we

had to do their first but she was scared of that. She's like, where am I? I don't want to be here.

But when she got to it's a small world, everything changed. We redeemed it. She was good enough.

She wanted that a couple times and the cousins were with her. So just even experiencing her first

roller coaster with you was kind of amazing. We did Thunder Mountain Railroad which was kind of like

pushing it for sure with her and she basically held her close and she was fine. But that would be

a scary ride. It was a night too. I know. That's a little scary. But we had a great time and it's

just fun. We had another while and Cade's favorite place so he got to do the things he loves and

Pearson Kennedy were with us and we've had a great time getting to enjoy being together as a family

and kicking off the season together. Yeah, so now that we're here into December and Advent
