morning blessings
Sunrise gratitude rituals
Morning blessings are prayers recited upon waking, expressing gratitude for the new day.
The term most often refers to the Jewish *birkhot hashachar*, a series of blessings thanking God for basic faculties and freedoms—sight, mobility, clothing, the ability to rise from bed.
He never skips his morning blessings, even when traveling.
Similar practices exist across religious traditions.
