Different things give me hope and motivation on a day-to-day basis, if that can be considered meaning. Family, pets, hobbies are probably the top most important things. They make my life meaningful, in a manner of speaking.
Those things certainly qualify. I don't think it needs to be some huge, overarching, cosmic meaning... just things that are meaningful to you. I think I'd be pretty surprised to hear of an atheist who thinks life has some cosmic meaning... though I'm sure they exist.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
