Empty Jar  by laurentye

Empty Jar

So no more worries? Probably not, but I did re-read some of the things I had written on the pieces of paper that were in here, and some things I was worried about seemed so silly now. I guess perspective changes with time.

I took all of the worries I had written down and I threw them in my paper shredder!

This is my last "Worry Jar" picture, so I think it's appropriate that I got rid of them...
Gorgeous photo

oh, this is such a good way to learn to leave worries alone.
it is so true that when you come back to them later they have been resolved.
really like this photo

@michelleyoung @stephlife thank you to you both. i kind of don't like the reflection of the sun on the jar, but thats okay...
March 13th, 2011  
I think the reflection works well :o)

Good move Lauren! Worries are for the birds! I like the photo too, it works so well with the background story.

@michelleyoung thank you for that. i guess it's easy to point out the flaws in our own photos (and ourselves!). and congrats again for your popular picture :D

Lauren this is a fantastic shot I like the sun reflection on the jar & all the detail in the wood. What a great idea to take an indoor item & photo it outdoors. I also like the ribbon in the top right, this to me is waving your worries away with the wind. Well done for the shot its fantastic but also an even bigger well done to you for using the shredder on the worries. I loaded your violin pic on the best of 5/11 March tried to link you so you would know but dont think the link worked so have a look. Also faved this

I like the way you franed it, with a bit of the tree trunck on the botton. For e it's almost like it symbolizes the "down to earth" feeling. Loved it! The sky, the sun on the jar. Great composition, Lauren. Very nice shot!

@spthorne Simon your comment on the fav discussion made me so happy! i posted a reply on there to you too but not sure if you got it. Your kind and supportive comments are always so nice to see when i come on here :) I can't believe that you faved this one, lol because I don't like it too much, but I really appreciate it. It did feel good to put all those little pieces of paper in the shredder!

This has been a lovely little series you put together Lauren, all with great photos. Don't worry over the sun glare, I think the way it is located mainly near the top of the jar, give it something extra. Very well done. May your worries be few.
March 14th, 2011  
super pretty picture!! I love it! I love the angle of the ribbon.
March 14th, 2011

@laurentye I think this hit the popular page so well done 7 well deserved
March 16th, 2011  
@spthorne really??? i haven't been around much and haven't had time to look at the popular page, so if it was there i missed it lol. so thanks for letting me know :)

I like this one a lot - the message of an empty worry jar is striking... or is it full of beauty and fresh air...the stuff that's opposite of worry! If you ever wanted to include this in another shot, to show you've cast off your worries you could shoot it open with a slip of paper fluttering out of it (or fluttering in since one couldn't tell if it was taken on it's way out or in. :-) )

I hope to follow you but don't want to mess up the row of 7s... 77 photos, 77 followers, 77 following :-)

@marthashields thanks for such a nice message, Marti. I just posted my 78th photo lol that was weird i didn't even notice all those 7's until you pointed it out

Looks great and cool back story. Always good to be able to put the image in context.
