5 minutes ago I turned my blog into a book.
My attachment to the blog has lessened considerably now that I have something tangible to remember it by.
There is no big mystery as to why I have decided to stop blogging. No hidden meaning. No resentments. No anything. I've just run out of things to say.
Thank you, to all, for your support over the last two years. Comments can be emailed to me at jillijavaandthegardenofeden @ gmail dot com.
I leave you with my favorite passage from Alcoholics Anonymous:

I leave you with my favorite passage from Alcoholics Anonymous:
THE A.A. PROMISES
If we are painstaking about this phase of our development, we will be amazed before we are half way through. We are going to know a new freedom and a new happiness. We will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it. We will comprehend the word serenity and we will know peace. No matter how far down the scale we have gone, we will see how our experience can benefit others. That feeling of uselessness and self pity will disappear. We will lose interest in selfish things and gain interest in our fellows. Self-seeking will slip away. Our whole attitude and outlook upon life will change. Fear of people and of economic insecurity will leave us. We will intuitively know how to handle situations which used to baffle us. We will suddenly realize that God is doing for us what we could not do for ourselves.
Are these extravagant promises? We think not. They are being fulfilled among us—sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly. They will always materialize if we work for them.
