Judaism has available what must be the largest compendium of blessings for every imaginable experience: One can say blessings upon waking up, going to sleep, eating, drinking with variations relating to what one eats or drinks, be it wine, bread, pastry, fruits, vegetables), going to the bathroom we acknowledge the gift of our body with its amazing plumbing system), meeting a friend after a long absence, studying Torah, seeing lightning, hearing thunder, gazing at the ocean, noticing a flowering tree, admiring a rainbow.
