grateful

"There's a lot of people who don't get here – but I have tenacity. I have resilience, which I'm very grateful for, because no matter how many times I've fallen down, I've bounced up again."

“I am grateful for the overwhelming love and solidarity I have received. Every worker deserves a peaceful commute,” he said.

“I feel the connection. And I just feel like this is my hometown, these are my people, and I’m just very grateful.”

“Born and raised in Pittsburgh, I’m grateful to the University of Pittsburgh for taking a chance on me when so many others wouldn’t,” Donald said in a statement.

I don’t even want to call it being grateful because I don’t think grateful encapsulates it, but it’s this weird triumph because when you don’t expect anything, everything is such a surprise.
