Swimming with a Sea Turtle (Video): Water Wednesday

On World Oceans Day (June 8), I pledged to highlight the oceans on Have Fun * Do Good for four weeks. For this fourth and final week, I'm sharing a video of a sea turtle swimming in Hawaii.

Watching this video, I can't help but think about one of the top emailed and viewed New York Times stories today, The 'Busy' Trap.  Maybe we all need to take a lesson from the sea turtle, and slow down. If you're feeling a little overwhelmed today, watch the turtle swim.  Nothing really happens.  Just a turtle gliding through the turquoise water. That's the beauty of it.

If you'd like to learn more about sea turtle conservation, check out these orgs (note: I'm not familiar with their work, just providing the links as a resource):

• Sea Turtle Conservancy
• Sea Turtle Restoration Project
• SEE Turtles

P. S. If you'd like me to continue with the Water Wednesdays series, lemme know.
