Gratitude and Appreciation

by Sydney Chase
Gratitude and Appreciation...I never used to see the difference..but
then I never saw the difference between thinking about the lack of
money and thinking about abundance...I never saw the difference of
which end of the stick I was holding til I met ABE...

....Ahhhh ABE : )

For me gratitude is me observing what is and being thankful for
it...nothing wrong with that in my mind, especially if what I was
observing before was not so good feeling.

But it still is that old observing "what is" for me...sort of still
beating the drum of "what is". Which again I say is okay if, what is
has changed to something better than before.

Appreciation for me is oberving and feeling more than what
is...appreciation is much more active to me...Appreciation to me is
adding value unto whatever you are appreciating at the moment. And can
be done anywhere for anything and anyone. Gratitude can lead one into
appreciation though.

Gratitude for me, is me being thankful for what I already
have...focusing on what I have already...but to appreciate something,
I don't have to actually have that thing or that experience physically
necessarily.

When I am placing my attention on appreciating something I am no
longer observing what is. No resistance to what's becoming. I am
beyond what is, expanding, becoming more. (Even if briefly) I feel a
huge difference in my energy, it's really moving inside...LOA brings
me more to appreciate, more energy moving more opening wide really
wide to Source. The more open, the more allowing, the more flowing,
the more energy moving...the more manifesting of what's becoming, what
I am desiring to be do and have.

I could be standing in a line at the grocery store and find a thousand
dare I say a million things to appreciate, just standing on line.
Thus adding unto the value of the grocery store. Appreciating the
clerks working there, the efficiency of the computers, the people in
the line, the variety of colors everywhere in the produce department,
the trucks that bring in the products, the people driving the trucks,
the farmers growing the produce, the factory worker placing the labels
on the products, that woman's coat, that man's cologne, how they
interact lovingly with their children, the variety of things to
purchase, the money that is adding unto the economy...so on and so
on...now maybe I don't necessarily feel grateful for standing in
line...but I am appreciating many things while standing in line...: )

To me, it is one of the nuances of the Art of Allowing Dance again.
Nothing wrong with being grateful especially if one has been feeling
many of the lower vibrations because then you can "appreciate" having
so many things to feel grateful for. And yet I do find that
appreciation does take me, anyway personally higher..physically
emotionally, and feelingly...LOL

Peace and Light
