I was at my beloved gym last week, doing the “Cardio Bunny”—puffing away on the elliptical instead of lifting like a true hard-core—when I saw some employees industriously moving out large boxes of various equipment.
I could see these words being as true for writers/writing as for physical/athletic endeavors: "I realize that my fitness isn’t dependent on a specific place. It’s dependent on persistence and consistency, which is driven for me by the unexpected joy that I found in experiencing my body’s strength and abilities—something I never knew was in me after a lifetime of lacking physical confidence and being convinced that I didn’t have an athletic bone in my body."

Ah, yes! Good connection there.
So sorry for your loss.
