Name a feel-good word that you donโt often hear/read/speak but tickles the ear or grabs your attention when you do.
Letโs have a little fun! Name a word that puts a spring in your step, causes you to crack a smile or amuses the mind.
Extra credit to those who wish to explain their word choice or answers in the form of a sentence!
Iโll get us startedโฆ One of my favorite words that I donโt hear often is โexuberantโ, and it makes me smile because it aptly describes all three of my dogs in the morning.
My feel-good word is: Effervescence!
This word has two distinct meanings. First, effervescence means
