Hi Captain, if you're talking to her in a way she doesn't like ("she started to get annoyed"), and she's asked you to stop ("She said I didn't have to do it anymore"), consider not talking to her that way.
That could be a respect 180, as would be asking for her consent to be practiced on.
Of course, it's easy to miss body language in an Internet post.
If the expression of gratitude is for your benefit, to see what goodness surrounds you, journaling is an option. I know at least one person who posts everyday on Facebook what they're thankful for.
