I'd like input as to how I can make the most of the rest of my life, and what gotchas to look out for. I've always had someone, so this is new territory.

There is nothing wrong with going alone in life in fact the idea that one should be with someone at any point in their life is quite a broad stroke to paint over everyone.
Even if one were to remain open to finding a new mate, going it alone and finding your path by way of independence is still the best route because those that find happiness and contentment without a partner make better partners anyway and in fact find better partners in the end. This is, of course not saying you should pursue finding another mate at all. but make your life independently, and enjoy single hood but remain open to the idea that someone might be out there for you still.
The door is open for you to do what you enjoy, and love to do.. whether that be staying at home and hanging out or going to places you never could while attached. I don't think there's any kind of tricks to it or standard rules.
