The Solstice and the Christmas holiday has come and gone and I will be honest in saying that this "time" was a wee bit difficult, for me.  The fact that it was "difficult" threw me for a bit of a loop and I began to wonder what, if anything, I was doing "wrong".  I wanted to feel Light, Love, Peace, and Happiness and instead I began to feel sorrow which began to feel like a great loneliness finally culminating in an indescribable "emptiness".
