PHOTO PROMPT © Jennifer Pendergast
“Ahh, these biscuits look lovely! It’s like the perfect gift for Easter. Thanks so much. My family would love them. I would surely decorate these along with a note full of love.”
Annie always enjoyed seeing her customers smile. Whether it was Easter or Christmas, she had not let the pandemic dampen the enthusiasm of her customers.
In times of crisis like these, she knew that her sweets would coincide with the arrival of joy and music in people’s lives.
After she was done for the day, she loved sitting at the lonely chair amongst the trees behind her house.
Written for the photo prompt and you can read the other entries here.

I’m not sure Annie isn’t a little sad

Oh she is a tad bit sad. But I guess she found happiness in seeing others happy :).
Navita Bhatia
Those who spread happiness, are often found to be lonely deep there. A good take on the prompt.
transitionofthoughts
Yeah I guess they find happiness in keeping others happy. Thanks Navita :).

It is a satisfying feeling to make others happy!

Seems to me Annie might not be as happy as she’s making her customers.
transitionofthoughts
I think she does feel happy. But you are right. Maybe subconsciously she doesn’t realize that she’s missing out a lot on her own personal happiness.
