In the midst of a cleaning binge- which is what any sane woman should be doing January (what else is there to do, I ask you, besides daydream?!)(btw, don't answer that all you crafty women out there), I made a cup of tea while surveying the damage I had done (see the above photo- I ran out of 409), and is my custom, while the tea was steeping I read the little quip on the tab. Do any of you drink Good Earth Original Tea? You should, it's wonderful. Even more so if you steep a bag of Celestial Seasonings Chocolate Caramel Enchantment Chai along with it, add a tiny drizzle of honey and lots of soy milk.
Where was I?
Oh yeah, the tab and the wit. It said, "A witty saying proves nothing." Voltaire (1694-1778)
Now there's some wisdom for you, eh? I remember my husband commenting to someone once, "Being able to argue a point eloquently doesn't make you right, it just makes you eloquent." And here's a gem from my favorite book, Proverbs 17:27-28. "He that hath knowledge spareth his words; and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit. Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding."
I'm preaching to myself here. ;o)
Remember this old saying? "Little said is soonest mended". Hmm..... lots of good sayings out there, don't you think?

Hee, hee! Love it. I am going to keep quiet much more often. Something I really should do anyway...
Oh, and since it is mid-January, I am planning my vegetable garden. The only way I can stay sane right now. I went out yesterday and surveyed the garden plot and planned it all out. And then it snowed 12 inches and reminded me that Spring is nowhere close to being here. **sigh**
Haha, yeah, I can relate. But I'm still "daydreaming" my garden!
