Time. Salute, Cin Cin....On the journey. ~~May you have a hundred of these days! ~~Lol.

I saw a photo of me at a wedding recently.
I was like Wow, how old AM I? I looked SOOOO old.

I could not recognise myself.
The photo above was taken at a different wedding, not so many years before, in 2016.
The intensity of each year thereafter has been ferocious, up to the point where I have aged and do not even even recognise myself in a photo.
 
As David Bowie said in his song, Time:

Oh well, I look at my watch, it says nine twenty- five
And I think "oh God, I'm still alive"

Time is moving so strangely,
it is moving both ....
so fast I can't actually SEE what is happening, .......
and so slowly, I can see time lapse photography in action.

Oh, well, I look at my watch, it says nine twenty-fiveAnd I think "oh God, I'm still alive"

So this is me in 2016, just before the fast track aging syndrome.

Salute!. Michaela. Salute or Cin Cin.

Italy

Salute ! – Cin Cin !

Just as French people, the Italians say “cheers” in two ways, “Salute” in an informal situation or “Cin cin” in a more formal context. Some great Italian drinking toasts or cheers besides salute are “cento di questi giorni” or “cent’ anni”. “Cento di questi giorni” means “May you have a hundred of these days”, and “cent’ anni” means “a hundred years”

INow~ I look like Yoda!  “When you look at the dark side, careful you must be. For the dark side looks back.”Yodaoda

“You must unlearn what you have learned.”

– Yoda 

(Which may take a hundred years Michaela)

“In a dark place we find ourselves, and a little more knowledge lights our way.”

– Yoda

Looks (literally) like I've been in the dark place, a little too long, feels like a hundred years too long...

 Maybe its time to come out....

Michaela,
