The only gift my dad ever bought me is still in my jewelry box. It died at 10 minutes to 11 decades ago, but the gold Caravelle watch keeps my dad alive. A watch isn't about keeping time. It's about stopping it.

Regina Brett
Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.
Regina Brett
Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
Regina Brett

However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
Regina Brett
Too often, we get attention and sympathy by being a victim. If we're invested in someone being our villain, we must love being the victim. We have to let go of both characters in the story.
Regina Brett
Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.
Regina Brett
No matter how I feel, I get up, dress up, and show up for life. When I do, the day always serves up more than I could have hoped for. Each day truly is a slice of heaven. Some days the slices are just smaller than others.
Regina Brett
As much as the Pulitzer is the hallmark of journalism, I think what I love the most is when somebody says they took my column and it's in their wallet. I have had people open their wallet and show me a corner of a column.
Regina Brett
Most of life is showing up. You do the best you can, which varies from day to day.
Regina Brett
Frame every so-called disaster with these words: In five years, will this matter?
Regina Brett
We want someone else to act. But miracles aren't what other people do. They're what each of us does. They're what happens when ordinary people take extraordinary action. To be a miracle doesn't mean you have to tackle problems across the globe. It means making a difference in your own living room, cubicle, neighborhood, community.
Regina Brett
Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.
Regina Brett
When in doubt, take the next step.
Regina Brett
Summer is the annual permission slip to be lazy. To do nothing and have it count for something. To lie in the grass and count the stars. To sit on a branch and study the clouds.
Regina Brett
I think of her every time I judge myself or someone else too harshly. How do we really know the worth of our work? It's not our job to judge the worth of what we offer the world, but to keep offering it regardless. You might never know the true worth of your efforts. Or it could simply be too soon to tell.
Regina Brett
If you're lucky enough to still have grandparents, visit them, cherish them and celebrate them while you can.
Regina Brett
When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.
Regina Brett
