Three Coins In A Fountain

My daughter’s painting of Sienna evokes a dream of travel to Italy. The trip would have to include a tour of Rome. One stop there might be Trevi fountain. The legend of the fountain is that if you throw 3 coins into it, the first coin promises you will return to Rome, the second means that you will find romance, and the third coin guarantees you will be married. Sounds better than online dating. The legend inspired the classic film and song ‘Three Coins in the Fountain.’ The film is a light romance about three American women who find love and marriage in Rome.

Our dream of trips are on hold right now. I know it will not be forever. We don’t have to give up our dreams.

Stream of Consciousness Saturday, #SOCS, is hosted by Linda G Hill. Your prompt is the title and/or the lyrics of the first song that comes to mind when you look at the picture.

  A bit disappointing. I bet Rome was still beautiful and romantic though. 🙂

  The skies will clear and we will go on. Just go day by day until then and try to look for the good things in each day.
