Week of Thanksgiving — a beautiful time to reflect on gratitudes. And I plan to do that as much as I possibly can this week. I mentioned in passing towards the beginning of this blog that there are many people that I look forward to thanking. I hope that this will always be part of the mission and mantra of Badass Backpacks: to be extremely grateful when we have the chance to learn from and work with amazing people who share a bit of themselves with us and with this project.
We are still in the anxious anticipation phase, waiting for the First 100 to finally arrive so that we can start selling them. I was really thinking that we would already be selling bags by now. Alas. Inevitable on our first production run that there would be countless lessons we could not anticipate we would be learning. And for that I am grateful. While mildly frustrating that we can’t start shipping just yet — the extra time that this delay is buying us is going to good use. I continue to be grateful as well that Eric and Rusty both smile and hang with me, calmly and confidently, as we … wait. I know that most folks reading this blog are also patiently waiting. 🙂 I am grateful for you too.
Bags are coming soon. In the meantime – let’s enjoy this week of Thanksgiving! There is so much to be grateful for! As for speed and going faster:
You will speed up once you’re comfortable going faster.
