    1. Thank you, Jumpstart Positivity! One of the main reasons I share positive words and quotes is that it boosts my mood. I plan to add more definitions and synonyms to help people stay positive.

  2. Hi Jeremy – I love this post! What an original idea to write 1000+ positive words. Pinned it already and will bookmark now for future visits 🙂 I really liked the positive words you provided to describe people along with the list of synonyms for “amazing” because I overuse this word a lot lol. Time to change that!
