Definition of Joie de Vivre. Taken from the Wikipedia
Joie de vivre (from the French joie, “joy”; de, “of”; vivre, “to live, living”; “the joy of living”) is a term sometimes imported into English to express a cheerful enjoyment of life; an exultation of spirit. Joie de vivre “can be a joy of conversation, joy of eating, joy of anything one might do… In English common usage, the phrase is sometimes corrupted to joie de vie. This would translate to “joy of life” or “zest for life,” rather than the more affirmative “joy of living.”
