Hello....well, let me stick my old wrinkled nose in here, too. if I may! Yes?
I used to be 78 and old feeling and looking. Now I'm almost 87 and I don't mind so much anymore. I got used to the old face in the mirror (I still use a little makeup to do it's thing) and I just get on with living. There is a lot that I can still do and I concentrate on the "cans" not the "cants." Remember that old song... "You've got to accent the positive, eliminate the negative, latch on to the affirmative. And don't mess with Mr. inbetween."? I keep things as positive as I can. Key words. " As I can." I don't pretend that, or think that, I will ever look like I did or feel like I did before but I make each day as positive as I can.
I take care of myself, find things to do that are of interest to me and do a little exercising most days. I keep in touch with my grandchildren and taken on some of their young interests from them. I am a Star Wars fan! We will be going to see the new Mandalorian and Grogu movie together...with me in my wheelchair.

Another saying about aging, "It's mind over matter. If you don't mind it doesn't matter." And Honey, don't let it matter ; )

LOVE it! Your fun attitude reminds me of something my dad often replies when someone asks him how he is doing: “Well, I woke up this morning seeing flowers instead of roots, so I guess I’m doing fine!” 🤣
