Time, Space, and the Future

As I prepare to go to a staffing agency to seek employment, I consider how it is that someone like me would end up in such a situation. I was tired of going to school, I needed a break, and yet when the break came I found myself overwhelmed by the emptiness of working alone in one's home. Left to my own devices, I quickly fell into despair and instead of using my creativity for good, I creatively thought of reasons why my life was not adding up to something meaningful. What is meaningful work anyways? Can one find find any work to be meaningful? Is it simply a matter of perspective? I have called my blog "Unveiling" because this time alone has been a great unveiling of many things about myself, the world, the nature of work etc. This post is not really about time, space, or the future. It's about right now. How can I achieve a sense of "presentness" --a sense of being in the moment instead of dwelling on the possible future.
