What is the first thing you do in the morning?
My morning routine is very routine, not varied at all unless there is something odd that comes up. I get up, go to the bathroom, and take my morning meds. Then I perform wudu (Muslim abultions) and brush my teeth. Then I go to say my Fajr prayers, the morning prayer said before sunrise in Islam. After that I come downstairs and check my emails and blogs while listening to the news on the TV.
This next month will change my routine since it is Ramadan. I will rise an hour earlier (4:00 a.m.) and say prayers, then eat a light breakfast and drink a lot of water because this is Ramadan and I will not be able to eat nor drink again until sunset. The I will say my Fajr prayers and continue on my day, except that I will probably read the Qur’an (a part of it) first thing in the morning.
I also drink my Benefiber faithfully or there will be problems. The eating a light breakfast during Ramadan is necessary but not something I usually do. I usually don’t eat until late afternoon. Of course during Ramadan I have to hold off until after Magrib (sunset) prayers. Fortunately the mosque provides water and a selection of fruit for breaking the fast after Magrib prayers. That is great. Then I’m done for the night. I don’t really get hungry very much and keep to eating lightly.
So I went a little beyond the morning ritual, but you get the drift.
