Within gratitude there is still a bit of doubt, fear, etc. Because the focus is not entirely 'forward', the focus has a mixed vibe in it. Gratitude, unlike appreciation has elements still of what is NOT wanted mixed in with it. Appreciation on the other hand is lacking any fear, and doubt. It's an emotion that is crystal clear. There is no mixture of emotions but pure focused appreciation. That's how you know the difference. The vibe of appreciation is pure love ~ This is how we see thru the eyes of Source.
