## Resource

I watched Dawson's Creek. Yes, I said it. Young adult TV drama at its best. ...and James Van Der Beek was an icon of the show. His recent lost battle with cancer just reminds me of how short life is, how quickly we age and weaken, and just how much we should embrace each moment like it's our last. Because you just don't know how long you've got - get out there and get after your dreams!
