The Best Is Yet to Come : Living Fully in Each Moment

Sr. Anne Bryan Smollin (1943-2014) was a beloved storyteller with an unforgettable sense of humor.

In her final book, The Best Is Yet to Come, Smollin wanted to tell the story of a woman who wanted to be buried with a fork in her hand.

The woman told her husband that at the many potluck church dinners she attended, she was always told to hold onto her fork after the main dish because there was still one more course -- dessert.

The best was yet to come!Twenty-seven brief chapters will take you on a delightful tour through topics such as keeping perspective, living in the present moment, seeing the connections, and appreciating the past.

Sr. Anne possessed an uncanny gift to inject new life into familiar words and simple lessons such as 'life is a precious gift', 'don't take yourself too seriously', and 'little things mean a lot'.

She reminds us in her final work that no matter how difficult some moments in life can be, the best is yet to come.
