Today I’m sharing a picture of “biscottea” by stephsus I posted on my tea pin board.
Today in my meditation I’m thinking about Full Moon and I’m writing about: Why Italy?
I have never been to Italy, but I’d love to visit one day. I have friends and family who’ve been, even my husband has been at least twice before we started dating. The main reason, however, that I write about Italy in It’s Like the Full Moon, is because of the movies that helped inspire the story. Two of the three movies that inspired the plot of It’s Like the Full Moon are connected to Italy in some capacity.
There are many places that are known for romance if you go at the right time. Paris, New York, Las Vegas, The British Isles, and more, but it seems the whole country of Italy is connected to romance. Of course, I’m exaggerating and embellishing a bit, but you get the idea. You don’t typically have to mention a specific city or town in Italy for people feel romantic at the mention of a trip there. Some places you go to for adventure, some places are for site seeing, and some places are for good food, but Italy is all that and more all wrapped up in romance…At least it is in my head.
Thank you for taking the time to read this post. If you like it let me know and share it with others. See you next time, Toi Thomas. #thetoiboxofwords

I’ve always wanted to visit Italy. I loved Paris.
I’d love to go to Pairs too. At this point, I’d love to get out of the country, for a little while. Thanks for stopping by.
Many of the Western ideas of romantic love originated in Italy, including the word romance itself.
I know. Italy is romance, at least from a literary stand point.
