Strands #209
“Feeling good”

Hi Strands fans. At first the theme of "Feeling good" might feel too broad to get a quick handle on.
But it's actually a really simple one, and I was aided by finding the word HAPPINESS right away. I actually assumed this was part of the spangram, but went for it anyway, and was rewarded with my first answer on the board.
I noticed the 'X' underneath it and quickly figured out that was part of EXCITEMENT. That cleared a path between my two words starting "EMOT", which neatly started the spangram of EMOTIONS.
This, in turn, cordoned off PLEASURE in the bottom-right corner, leaving just two words to find in the top segment. I found GRATITUDE in the top right, which left a simple four-letter word on the opposite side to complete the puzzle: LOVE.
