Sotto, I am so glad that everything turned out well yesterday. I'm sure your guests enjoyed the meal and spending time together. The group sounds like a nice bunch and I'm sure there will be many more activities in the days ahead that you will be involved in w/them.
Working from home today is a good idea. You don't realize just how much effort (and stress) goes into planning a dinner party. Take it easy today and know that you had a great time yesterday w/your new friends.
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.
