Claire Morgan

Claire Morgan Mum of one. Office manager at a primary school in York. Garden proud, kitchen busy. Learning that 50 is not the finish line everyone warned me about. 48 ans. Laval.

Mère de 2. J'ai passé 3 ans à cacher mon sourire. C'est fini.

Bulbs in before the first frost. Every October I tell myself I'll plant fewer, and every October I somehow come home from the garden centre with more. 🌷

If they all come up in spring, the front border is going to be ridiculous. No regrets.

Something nobody tells you about your fifties: your body starts sending you letters it never used to send. Knees. Eyes. Teeth. Sleep.

And the frustrating part is how often the answer you get is "that's just age, we'll keep an eye on it."

I've decided this is the decade I stop accepting "we'll keep an eye on it" as an answer. Anyone else?

Yesterday I smiled in a photo.

I really smiled. Showing my teeth. I saw myself at age 30, at a wedding, with my hand over my mouth while everyone else was laughing loudly.

I’d been doing that for almost 20 years without even realizing it. “Three years of hiding my smile,” I wrote in my bio.

That’s not true. It was much longer than that. If you recognize yourself in this: you’re not alone. And it’s not about looks—it’s about living your life to the fullest.

Emma's home from Leeds for the weekend. Third year of dental school now — she walks in the door, drops her bag, and starts explaining the actual science behind everything I thought I knew about teeth.

Being corrected by your own daughter at your own kitchen table is a strange kind of proud. 🦷

Apple crumble as payment for the free consultation, obviously.

Je sais pas encore ce qui va se passer.

Je sais que j'ai passé 3 ans à me cacher. À sourire la bouche fermée. À me placer en arrière sur les photos de famille. À mettre ma main devant ma bouche chaque fois que je riais.

Je sais que j'ai dépensé 270 $ en capsules de collagène qui ont rien fait pour mes gencives. 2 ans de Sensodyne pour rien. Une brosse à 189 $ qui a empiré les choses.

Je sais que mon dentiste m'a proposé 13 500 $ de chirurgie que j'ai pas les moyens de payer. P*s que la RAMQ couvre pas.

Mais je sais aussi que pour la première fois en 3 ans, j'ai l'impression de comprendre ce qui se passe. Vraiment comprendre.

C'est un début.
