Genial

ge·​nial /ˈjēnyəl/

Adjective

kindly and pleasant in disposition; cheerful

“Genial manners are good, and power of accommodation to any circumstance, but the high prize of life, the crowning fortune of a man is to be born with a bias to some pursuit, which finds him in employment and happiness – whether it be to make baskets, or broadswords, or canals, or statutes, or songs.”

– Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 – 1882)
