Many people think of nursing homes as depressing places, where lonely people go to die. "Random a Nursing Home Journal", by Wanda R. Schwind, demonstrates that yes, one can have a rewarding, fulfilling life in a nursing home. And with her witty, effervescent prose, Ms. Schwind shows us that an old mind need not be an inactive one.
Lest you think this book is all sweetness and light, be reassured that it is not--it portrays Ms. Schwind's home as it really is, where there is pain and joy, sorrow and humor. Sounds like any home, doesn't it? Well, it is. Ms. Schwind began her journal in hopes of dealing with the problems of adjusting to nursing home life after a fulfilling career and happy marriage. After she lost her beloved husband of forty years, the author suffered a debilitating stroke that forced her to sell her home and take up residence in a nursing home. Did she let this get her down? Yes, sometimes she did, but she also determined to make a happy life for herself. Ms. Schwind is not a paragon who suffers gladly; she is a real human being whom you will enjoy meeting in these pages. So crack open "Random Thoughts" and enjoy not only Ms. Schwind's thoughts but her memories and her life, past and present.
