glow
Ember's fading light
Glow is the soft, steady light something emits without flame—the glow of embers, of a screen in a dark room, of city lights on the horizon.
Skin can glow with health or exertion.
A pregnant woman is said to glow.
To glow with pride or happiness is to radiate visible contentment: She was glowing after the promotion.
As a noun, glow names both the light itself and the warm feeling: the glow of satisfaction.
