joy
Heart's bright glow
Joy is a feeling of great happiness, typically one of short duration that is occasioned by some event.
To characterize someone or something as a joy is a way of saying that they evoke very pleasant feelings: His singing is a joy to experience.
People sometimes say no joy to signal that they have not been successful in finding or doing something.
When capitalized, Joy is a somewhat old-fashioned female given name.
