I've had this kind of contemplation going on for some time, but I watch the birds, my dog and cat for clues about the meaning of life.
It is simply to live, moment by moment, and enjoy the sun while it's out and realize that the rain is going to bring growth that will feed you in the spring. It's to play whether or not there is someone to play with, nap when you can, and cuddle whenever possible.
I think maybe there really is no real "meaning", just living.
