Sentence: Jake was so excited, he experienced resignandshine. After many years of toiling at a job he hated, for ungrateul bosses and a company who did not value him, he quit. He had taken that fateful stroll through the Disenchanted Forest, from where no employee returns. He never felt better. The relief, sense of liberation and possibilities bedazzled him. It was great to call the boss from Tahiti and tell him to stuff his crummy job. Yes, winning that big lottery turned his vocation into a vacation, permanently!

Etymology: Resign (quit voluntarily from a position or job) & Shine (experience a feeling of well-being or happiness, as from good health or an intense emotion)...Play on Rise and Shine
