Take A Picture
Like many of you, The Download is taking a bit of a break to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday with family and friends. Although the introduction for this week’s edition may be brief, do not despair! There is no reduction in the number of articles – so plenty of food for thought!
One quick reminder. While you spend time with your loved ones, remember to capture the moments that will become cherished memories forever. Like the words of one of my favorite songs, Stop the World, from the musical, Come from Away:
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
Happy Reading!
