thriving

Thriving means being very successful or healthy and growing well.

When people say that something or someone is thriving, they usually mean that it's going really well. For example, if a small business has been open for a few years and it's always busy with customers, you could say it's thriving. If someone starts a garden in their backyard and everything is blooming beautifully, you might describe the garden as thriving too. Even if the word "thriving" can be used to talk about animals, like plants or pets that are growing strong and healthy, its most common use is to express how well something or someone is doing in life.
