And this teachable moment is not from a national disaster or declared by a president. This is a truly inspiring story taught by no other than a humpback whale. The San Francisco Chronicle recently reported a story about a female humpback whale entangled in a web of crab traps and lines off the Farallon Islands. The whale was, due to our negligence, dying. And, due to our determination, could be saved.
So, four divers plunged into the water, tediously cutting the individual lines cutting the whales skin and weighing her down. When they were done, the whale thanked them, literally. The whale reported swam around them in joyous circles and went to each individual diver and nudged them.
This stroy epitomizes the holiday spirit: love, family, friends. It inspires you to surround yourself with people who will untngle you; and thank them unconditionally. Like giving and receiving presents, give and receive gratitude during the holiday season.
And now this is a real teachable moment.
