Word of the Day

Today's word of the day is Exult. I noticed that when i tried to think of the word of the day i kept coming up with things that were negative like Portentious, so I tried to think of something positive. I love this word, because event though it isn't technically a "big" word it is one that isn't used that often and I think it has a wonderful feel to it.
