happy

/ˈhæpiː/adjective

Feeling pleasure and contentment; enjoying a sense of well-being, comfort, or joy.

Example sentence

“The children were happy playing in the park all afternoon.”

The pattern 'happy with' signals satisfaction rather than joy: 'Are you happy with the results?' Compounds like 'trigger-happy' flip it to mean recklessly quick.
