cheery
Full of sunshine
Cheery describes a bright, pleasant manner that lifts the mood—more outwardly expressive than merely cheerful.
A cheery greeting, a cheery disposition, a cheery wave.
The word suggests visible warmth: She gave a cheery hello as she passed.
Something cheery radiates good spirits rather than simply possessing them.
