Welcome to Jim's Home Page

Feel free to wander around and read what I have to say

More information will be added in the days to come.

This will be a continuously ongoing process.

This Web site is my writers sounding board. On this site, I will release bits and pieces of my story.

Since the car wreck in 1983, many things have happened to me and my family to create the material for this story. That is what I want to write about: an inspirational story about my many different changes and adventures that allow me to write this book. That is just a lot of mumbo - jumbo talk to say that so many different things have happened to change me and my life after being the passenger in a single car accident all those years ago. Even so, I am still trying and pushing forward to be the best I can be.

Everything in my life had changed so completely and radically in one brief instant. Since then, my life has become a daily struggle. But I don't want to complain too much . . . everyone has their own problems of some sort. I surely have mine, but we each have our own personal difficulties and circumstances to live with. Some problems may be much worse than mine - but not to me. I have to live every day with my acquired problems and deficits.

It is good to be able to get beyond those problems. That is where a lot of popular interest is generated; being able to get on with you life and how you might do that. I still have not gotten completely past my problems, and maybe I never will. I just keep trying to make things better and I hope that they can and will. The main thing that I try to understand and what I want to talk about here is not to ever give up. No matter what, just try to be positive and continue forward. I only hope that my trials and my difficulties, as well as my triumphs over many obstacles can be an inspiration to help others who read this.

I am now unable to work in my chosen career at the level I was capable of before being in the car wreck in 1983. My problems include memory and intelligence, and the loss of many necessary fine motor skills. Many of my job skills depended on fine and intricate movement tasks.

I want to use this Web story as a tool to give an inspirational twist to everything that has happened to me. If anyone reading this has suffered a traumatic or life altering injury or some other life changing event, I certainly hope that person may take some inspiration and hopefulness from my story. That person would certainly know the effects of what I am discussing.

If you haven't had a serious or life threatening medical problem or injury, this story may still be of interest to you too - maybe as an inspiration to the abilities of a human soul to cope with an injury and try to become whole again.

We can overcome our problems with sheer determination and faith.
