What would you do if your teacher told you to stop using the word -happy- so much? If you had the Big Picture Thesaurus, you might thumb through it until you found -happy- under the subject of -feelings-. Then you'd find your options: -glad,--joyful,--cheerful,--delightful,- and -upbeat-. At this point, you might be scratching your head deciding which word to use, but once you find it you'll feel glad, joyful, cheerful and delighted for your efforts.
