a state of being sure enough and well enough to feel grounded and content in one's existence; a sense of physical and emotional well-being that is rooted in a deep appreciation for one's surroundings and the present moment. Pronunciation: "SHOO-well" /ˈʃu wɛl/.
It is a portmanteau, blending the word "sure" & "well". Word originated from the phrase "Sure enough that the ground is beneath me, Well enough to stand on it", as a substitute to the "phrase "good" or "fine" response in everyday conversation that is more honest than saying "good" or "okay" when we are not always feeling that way.
