Grateful is not a reaction to what goes right, but a recognition of the good that persists — even in what goes wrong.

To live gratefully is to see life through the lens of appreciation rather than expectation.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. Psalms 100:4

G.rateful means to be feeling or showing thankfulness and appreciation for something positive, such as a kindness, benefit, or opportunity that has been received.
