![]() And so my husband was like, you know, he was like, so what you want to do today? I was like, I’m going to go kayaking and snorkeling. I remember going on vacation to Cancun and I was I was married at the time. Like, I wish I could take a break and then I would take a break and then legit. Imani Walker: And and I would always be like, oh, I’m so tired. I’m somebody who really I just couldn’t stay still, like I–ĭr. And I say that because I’m somebody who has notoriously pretty much up until the pandemic happened and and that made me have to stop. And also, if it’s cost me my peace, it’s too expensive. So I think my intention for 2023 is basically going to be like I’m like, I can do bad by myself. I’m somebody who’s more intentional, like, I like making it, like, intentions. So usually resolutions are kind of silly. And when at the beginning of the year, I would just be like, oh my God, there are all these people here that like, by the by, like day ten, like January 10th, gone. You know, like I was I was basically at the gym every day. Imani Walker: And in the beginning of the year. I mean, people, it’s it’s always, I used to always get irritated because I used to go to the gym a lot.ĭr. Meg Scoop Thomas: I probably just should just, you know, make monthly goals instead of a yearly goal.ĭr. But I don’t like doing resolutions because ah I’ll be honest, I don’t ever reach them. Meg Scoop Thomas: Um I think I’ve been both. Are you like a resolution person? Like New Year’s resolutions? Or more like intentions? But, but, but in any case, Um I’ve also just been kind of doing a lot of reflecting. Until the second week of January, so I’m like, whatever I say between now and then, like I feel like I could be forgiven for. And when I say it, I mean like being productive. Like, honestly, I’m not going to be really into it. I mean, I still have stuff to do, but I’m just kind of like whatever. Thanksgiving came and went, and ever since then, my brain has been on automatic pilot.ĭr. And it’s also, what else is coming? The holidays are coming, and I don’t know if well, I kind of feel like I do know. Meg Scoop Thomas: I can’t wait for that girl. I’m not doing trees like my son, Idris is 15. Meg Scoop Thomas: If you look at my tree, it is like half fluffed. Meg Scoop Thomas: –to do something for them. Meg Scoop Thomas: –like decorating, but I feel like I have little kids, so, like, let me try– I put my Christmas decorations up, like, halfway because I don’t really– Like, it’s got a little chill in the air. It’s it’s same over here with the weather. Just the fact that it’s like a new day, um but I’m good. Imani Walker: –now I’m like, yay! Like I’m super excited–ĭr. So me and my dog went and she was looking kind of like sad too. So I was like, you know what, I need to go outside and go hiking. Like, what if nobody likes me? What if like blah, blah, blah. Like like I know that my mood gets kind of weird um and I get kind of like, you know, like, doubtful. ![]() Imani Walker: –this morning I was like, okay, you got to leave the house.

From this arise melancholy and mourning and a thousand vacillations of a wavering mind, buoyed up by the birth of hope and sickened by the death of it. ![]() From this arises that boredom and self-dissatisfaction, that turmoil of a restless mind and gloomy and grudging endurance of our leisure, especially when we are ashamed to admit the reasons for it and our sense of shame drives the agony inward, and our desires are trapped in narrow bounds without escape and stifle themselves. “In consequence, when the pleasures have been removed which busy people derive from their actual activities, the mind cannot endure the house, the solitude, the walls, and hates to observe its own isolation. ![]()
