grateful
Warmed by kindness
Grateful describes feeling or expressing thanks for something received or experienced: I'm grateful for your help, She gave him a grateful smile.
The word implies recognition that something good has come from outside oneself—a gift, a kindness, an outcome.
To be grateful to someone is to feel indebted to them; to be grateful for something is to appreciate having it.
