Here is a mix of adjectives you could use with the verbs 'to feel' or 'to be', some examples, as well as their meanings:

I was ecstatic when my sister told me she was pregnant!

Matthew has always been in awe of his grandfather. He loves talking about him!

Millions of courageous people died during the war.
