There was a hit here earlier today (from Redmond, Washington) from a Google query "why do i practice piano".
My response to this noble Googler from the Land of Microsoft:
You practice piano because playing the piano is a never-ending voyage of discovery. It's not just about achieving an end product, but learning about the value of process. As much as the satisfaction of mastering a work, it's about showing up every day and revelling in the physicality of being able to push down keys on a complex mechanism made out of wood and metal that creates these amazing sounds and works of art that can do so much towards making life more enjoyable.

Another Google query was for "Bathroom Divas season three"--I've noticed a few of these recently. For the record, I don't know anything about a third season but if and when I do, you will definitely read about it here.
Thanks for the inspiring answer Chris - as I go into an overload of recitals and juries, it's a good breath of fresh air to remember the physicality and beauty of what we do...though a day off would also be nice ;)
