Usuku olukhulu selufikile ekugcineni! Usuku ikati lakho elisekhaya. Yini okufanele uyenze manje? Uma ucabanga ukuthi usuvele uyothenga konke okudingayo (ukudla, amathoyizi, okugoqayo, umbhede, ...), ngokuqinisekile uzoba nokungabaza okuningi mayelana nokuthi izinyathelo ezilandelayo kufanele zibe yini, akunjalo?
Futhi iqiniso liwukuthi ngosuku lokuqala - futhi okulandelayo  - kuyoba nzima kakhulu ukumelana nesilingo sokumtotosa kakhulu, kodwa lokhu akuyona into enhle ngokuphelele. Yingakho ke, Ngizokutshela okufanele ukwenze ngosuku lokuqala ikati lifika ngalo ekhaya.
Ngokushesha nje lapho sigoduka nekati, sihlala sishiya ophethe phansi, sivule umnyango bese sikukhuthaza ukuthi liphume nokuphatha ikati noma amathoyizi. Sijabule kakhulu ukuthi uqala ukuhlola ukuthi manje sekuyikhaya lakho, nokuthi ushiya okwedlule futhi uqale ukujabula nathi. Kepha uma sima kancane sicabange ngalokhu okwesikhashana, sizobona ukuthi imvamisa asicabangi ukuthi yini elungele isilwane.
Uzobona, i-feline ithanda ukuhlola okuningi, yebo. Unelukuluku lokwazi. Kepha ukwenza kancane kancane, ngama-zone. Lapho eshiya othwala, into yokuqala ayibonayo yindawo enkulu kakhulu, indawo angayijwayele, enabantu abasha nephunga. Lokhu kungasabisa. Ngalesi sizathu, kunconywa kakhulu ukuthi ukugcine egumbini izinsuku ezimbalwa, ngoba ngale ndlela ungazizwa uzolile futhi, ngakho-ke, kuzoba lula kuwe ukushiya iphunga lakho (unemininingwane eminingi ngokumaka lapha). Kuwo uzoba nombhede wakhe, amanzi, ukudla, kanye nebhokisi lodoti, yize lokhu kokugcina kuzodingeka kususwe lapho isilwane senza inqubo yaso ekhaya.
Enye into enconyelwa kakhulu ukuyenza qhubeka nenqubo; Ngisho ukuthi, yebo, sinekati ekhaya, kodwa sizoqhubeka nezimpilo zethu, simzibe kancane ukuze ezizwe ekhululekile ukwenza noma yini ayifunayo. Kunjalo, singakwazi (empeleni, kumele sikwenze lokho sithembe) nikeza ukuphatha futhi umumeme ukuthi adlale, kodwa ngaphandle kokukusinda. Omunye wemisebenzi yethu manje baqonde ukukhuluma komzimba wabo ukuze ukuxhumana kwekati lomuntu kube kuhle kubo bobabili abathintekayo; ngakho-ke singakha ubungani obuhle.
Njengoba ubona, ngosuku lokuqala akudingeki wenze okuningi: vele umshiye ekamelweni, qala ukumthanda futhi uqiniseke ukuthi ulungile  .
Ngiyethemba lezi zeluleko ziwusizo kuwe.
