Oh Life, you funny thing. You merry prankster, you bed of shifting sand, you wild and crazy guy!
Hello, my name is Misha. You may remember me from such places as this blog. Or my books. Or other places where I occasionally pop up and make grand statements about what I am doing and what I’m going to do and what I will have done by such and such a time.
But of course, Life doesn’t always run on the course that we predict for it. Sometimes, we fall down. And then, when we’re ready, we stand up again and sally forth.
So this is me, standing up and taking a new step forward. There will be more blogs to come, more stories to come, and – yes, I mean it, Life! – more books to come.
I love starting out the week on a good note, don’t you? I recently found this song (it was released in 2008 – I am always late on the good stuff, lol) by The Gabe Dixon Band, and I have come to adopt it as one of my personal anthems. I hope you enjoy it and share it with anyone who needs to hear these important (and true) words: all will be well.
Have a great week, friends!

Lyrics
The new day dawns,
And I am practicing my purpose once again.
It is fresh and it is fruitful if I win,
But if I lose,
Ooh,
I don’t know.
I’ll be tired,
but I will turn and I will go.
Only guessing ’til I get there,
Then I’ll know.
Oh,
I will know.
And all the children walking home past the factories
Can see the light
That’s shining in my window
As I write this song to you.
And all the cars
Running fast along the interstate
Can feel the love that radiates
Illuminating what I know is true.
All will be well,
Even after all the promises
You’ve broken to yourself.
All will be well,
You can ask me how
But only time will tell.
The winter’s cold,
But the snow still lightly settles
On the trees.
And a mess is still a moment
I can seize until I know.
That all will be well,
Even though sometimes
This is hard to tell,
And the fight is
Just as frustrating as hell,
All will be well.
And all the children walking home past the factories
Can see the light
That’s shining in my window
As I write this song to you.
All the cars
Running fast along the interstate
Can feel the love that radiates
Illuminating what I know is true.
All will be well,
Even after all the promises
You’ve broken to yourself.
All will be well,
You can ask me how
But only time will tell.
You’ve got to
Keep it up,
and don’t give up,
And chase your dreams,
and you will find,
All in time.
And all the children walking home past the factories
Can see the light
That’s shining in my window
As I write this song to you.
And all the cars
Running fast along the interstate
Can feel the love that radiates
Illuminating what I know is true.
All will be well,
Even after all the promises
You’ve broken to yourself.
All will be well,
You can ask me how
But only time will tell.
All will be well,
Even after all the promises
You’ve broken to yourself.
All will be well,
You can ask me how
But only time will tell.
You can ask me how
But only time will tell.
