• 得たり賢しえたりかしこし
  expression, adverb (with と)A dated expression for gladly or readily seizing a chance that presents itself; its 'thankfully' sense is marginal, so it is seldom the word you want for giving thanks at a fortunate outcome.

Choose 「おかげさまで」 to report your own good fortune politely with thanks to others, 「ありがたいことに」 to stress personal gratitude at a lucky result, 「幸いなことに」 to state the fortunate turn itself, and avoid the dated 「得たり賢し」.
