Try scaling to a $4m/yr business. That'll give you something to do with your day for sure! You'll need to take on staff and you might need an office and you can get that sense of camaraderie back.
There's good advice in this thread but nobody has pointed out the very real danger you face: you've evidently got a really good thing going, but your attitude could cause you to lose it. Either you won't give it the attention it needs and it dies or someone hungrier than you will steal your market share before you even notice.
The other thing you can do is to sell up. The only thing I can promise you is that nothing lasts forever - you've got a good thing going now so you could find a buyer who might offer you anywhere from 4-10x turnover. Maybe even more. At the very least you could become somewhat independent by paying off your mortgage or having a comfortable nest-egg while you come up with other plans.
So to conclude, I feel you have two options - get bigger or sell up. If you go travelling to "find yourself" or become a woodworking expert or go into education or just fill your life with more distractions you could lose everything.
tl;dr: Cash == Freedom; Distractions != Cash;
