Capture the Moment
Like many of you, The Download is taking a break to enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday with family and friends. While this week’s introduction is a bit shorter, don’t worry—there’s still a full lineup of articles to keep you engaged and informed. And who knows, one or more may be a read you’ll never forget!
Speaking of unforgettable, I’m bringing back a verse from a song shared last year — because truly, there’s no runner-up! It’s the perfect reminder for the holidays, and really for every day, to pause and capture those precious moments with loved ones that will last a lifetime. As the song Stop the World from the musical Come from Away says:
Stop the world
Take a picture
Try to capture
To ensure this moment lasts
We’re still in it, but in a minute—
That’s the limit—and this present will be past.
So, as you spend time with loved ones, take a moment to pause and enjoy the memories you’re creating together!
