What a Wonderful way to start the day!
Found the short prayer and explanation at https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/3725415/jewish/Modeh-Ani.htm
“This morning, G‑d chose to return your soul to your body and grant you once again the gift of life—a sure sign that there’s a little dark corner left in this world for you to come and illuminate. G‑d trusts that you are up to the task.” Thanks for the new perspective
12-Step Serenity Prayer is an excellent recurring mantra all day as needed

I don’t make copies for my books. I handwrite and draw every page of my books. These are special children’s books because I leave a blank space where the Heroes name should be, and when I go to the Pediatric section of the hospital every Thursday. I fill in the first name of the sick child’s name in the blank spaces and they become the Heroes of my books with magical powers .So far I given out 419 books.

It is thanking god for restoring my body for one more day. i also say the 12step prayer “God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the ‘things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”
