Appreciation is one step beyond acceptance. Its when your focus is on what you like about another. We look at them and feel this sweeping appreciation for who they are, their joy, their insights, their humor, their companionship, etc. When someone says they are "in love" with another, they mean their appreciation is so enormous for this person that it consumes their every thought.( "Oh man, he/she is so smart, attractive, funny, talented, etc." ..and if they are all these wonderful things AND they like me, I must be pretty darm wonderful too!)
