joyfulness
State of bliss
Joyfulness is the state of being full of joy—a condition of happiness and delight.
It suggests something more sustained than a moment of joy, describing someone's general disposition or manner: Her joyfulness was contagious.
The word appears in contexts emphasizing visible, outward expressions of inner happiness: The children's joyfulness filled the house.
