Well this is kind of funny. It’s not like any of the jokes are new or anything but, sort of like fart jokes, when Aunt Flo comes to visit every month, there’s always a bit of a chuckle. No matter how old and tired the jokes are, they still get a laugh.

And that’s what’s going on in this new Serena Williams commercial for Tampax. The tennis star squares off against Mother Nature on the court and at a press conference. Not sure who wins but there’s a lot of balls involved. Oh wait, that’s an entirely different category of joke. Sorry.

I’m 65 and my wife had an affair 23 years ago and we survived it—therapy, tears, rebuilding, the whole architecture of repair—and the marriage now is good, genuinely good, but there are still moments when she laughs at her phone and something in my chest tightens for exactly two seconds before I can talk myself down, and those two seconds are the scar’s rent, and it pays on time every single month

Research suggests that people who are willing to accept change as they get older live significantly longer than those who resist it — not because change is healthy but because resistance is expensive and the body pays a biological price for every year spent clenching against a reality it cannot control and that clenching is aging people faster than the change itself ever could
