Hear me out, please. I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s because I genuinely love what I do or because most of my growth as a person happens where I work; it\u2019s just what it is. This year has been quite challenging as far as work is concerned but amid it all, I got a rare chance to embrace new responsibilities and stretch myself even further. I even got to work with a new team outside Avon. Is it uncomfortable sometimes? Hell yes. Scary? That too! However, I realise that it\u2019s a blessing and I never begrudge those.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;\"><span style=\"color: #0e101a;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;\"><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><span style=\"color: #0e101a;\">Humour<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><span style=\"color: #0e101a;\">See ehn, if I said everything is peachy, I\u2019d be lying.

And memes do make me laugh so, I\u2019m thankful.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;\"><span style=\"color: #0e101a;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;\"><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><span style=\"color: #0e101a;\">Restarts<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><span style=\"color: #0e101a;\">One thing I realised this year is how much more difficult life would be if there were no opportunities to retrace one&#8217;s steps, course-correct or learn from one\u2019s mistakes. Sure, not everyone gets a second chance. Even I don\u2019t, sometimes. However, I\u2019m quick to recognise when a hand of grace \u2013 human or divine \u2013 has been extended to me in whatever area of life. It\u2019s one thing I\u2019m incredibly thankful for.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;\"><span style=\"color: #0e101a;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;\"><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><span style=\"color: #0e101a;\">Love<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><span style=\"color: #0e101a;\">From family, colleagues, friends, neighbours. Being looked out for and cared for is a blessing. In addition to all these, I got to start a new journey by getting married to an amazing woman I only saw as a colleague eight years ago. It\u2019s a crazy story I might get to share some other day. Let\u2019s just say that life can take pretty interesting turns and for me, I\u2019m thankful for where it leads.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I already knew I had a problem on my hands when I got this prompt.
