Sun, Sometimes it's nice to just have your pets around. Take this weekend and do something different, i.e., go to a movie, take in a museum or some type of book review, etc. Just don't stay indoors too long. You need to be out and about and enjoying the world.
I know what you mean about romance, i.e., weddings, dinners, etc. But you know what? That will come again for you. It all just takes time.
Enjoy your peace and quiet.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
