Gratitude

[sung to the tune of Ani Difranco's 'Gratitude']

thank you
for writing that blog post
thank you for saying nice things
thank you
for the @’s and the links
thank you
for giving me a virtual gift
thank you for saying happy birthday
that was a very kind thing to do
thank you
for faving my tweets
thank you for sending that poke
we can be facebook friends even if we never met,
you joke

but you changed the rules
in the last hour or two
and I don’t know what you
and your facebook friends do
but please don’t
please stop
this is not my obligation
what does my retweeting have to do
with my gratitude?

Everyone can sing along:

  1. Tara that would be the most beautiful post I’ve read in a long time.

    Thank you so much for writing it

    A friend(facebook)from India.

    Sarcasm and dark humor becomes you.

    Who would’ve never thunk that a social media type would ever parody Ani…

    Funny….I’ve been thinking a lot about gratitude lately, having been through a rough breakup. Focusing on what’s good (what you’re grateful for) is so much more healthy than focusing on what’s wrong….and has the power to pull one through anything.
