What are the top three things that give your life meaning?
(I will not be commenting on anyone's lists(Except for Jeppy's, if they take petty cheap shots on an otherwise pleasant thread). Just curious, perhaps looking for ideas! haha)

My first instinct was to list my three biokids, but that didn’t work because it leaves out my other kids.
so, no help to you at all:
my kids
my relationship with my husband
other people’s kids
which is actually a really funny list for an introvert who would happily go a week without seeing or speaking to another human.
is my life meaningful? is the question meaningful? Sure some things could be better and more meaningful probably (survival occupied a lot of my time last few years, until recently)
But what occupies my time and mind now voluntarily? (sure work takes time but it's just what I have to do and not meaningful).
- spending time with my bf
- political involvement (along with my bf)
- learning things and thinking about things. I'm INTP, i can't help it (yes sometimes with my bf as we read together)
Trees don't grow on money
Reading the theology of Walter Wink
Reading science fiction
Helping people that I cross paths with each day - by treating them kindly
#1: My family (kids, grandkids and husband)
#2: Curiosity about the world
#3: Finding beauty in the present moment

Family
Nature
Making something better, ie being creative and resourceful in all that I do
I don't know that my life needs meaning, but I'm happy to be here.
Family
Work
Living according to my values, including not expecting other people to pick up the tab for my debts
