cheerfully
In good spirits
Cheerfully means in a happy, willing, or good-natured manner: She cheerfully agreed to help.
It suggests not just doing something but doing it without complaint or reluctance.
The word can carry light irony when someone accepts something unpleasant with surprising ease: He cheerfully admitted he had no idea what he was doing.
