contentedness
Quiet, settled happiness
Contentedness is the state of being content—a quiet satisfaction with one's circumstances.
Unlike happiness, which suggests active pleasure, contentedness implies peaceful acceptance: There was a deep contentedness in her expression as she watched the children play.
The word is somewhat formal; content or contentment appears more often.
