An old hand

I am 61 - and my body shows many signs of ageing. I have wanted for some time to take a photo of my hand and this is my first attempt. What does it show?
There are raised veins.
There are age or 'liver spots'.
If you look carefully you can see a scar from a toffee-making episode when I was 11.
But it is my hand - it has done a lot of work. It has cooked meals, touched people I love, planted and sown in gardens, washed and stroked babies, knitted, sewn, and typed a lot of stuff that has been read more or less.

What are my hopes for this old hand's future?

To do more of all those things and some new things too.
