Is there a single word with the same meaning as "good moments" or "pleasant memories"? I'm looking for a word which describes good thing(s) that happened to someone. The only word I can think of is "joy".
Some examples might be:
- Wayne has many pleasant memories of the days spent with the family.
- She could remember many good moments from the last weekend.
Best Answer
Reminisce means to talk, think, or write about enjoyable experiences in your past (Macmillan Dictionary) or to indulge in enjoyable recollection of past events (Merriam Webster).
Your example sentences could be reworded:
•Wayne reminisced about the days spent with the family. •She reminisced about last weekend.
Reminiscence would be the noun form. (I did find it interesting that most dictionaries define the verb reminisce as an enjoyable act, but the noun reminiscence was not necessarily defined as being pleasant or enjoyable.)
