The body is a marvelous thing

I'm always envious of those people who seem to know their bodies. I mean really know them, like know what foods cause what minor reactions in what quantities and at what times of day, what affects their energy levels, what causes them to be moody, etc. I just don't have that gift. Or, correction, haven't put the time into developing it. It's a symptom of my broader problem of not being able to sit still for two seconds and just feel, I'm sure. I'm trying to be better, for my mental and physical health, but it's hard when you're young and busy. And listening to your body is so bloody complicated! I'd like to be more in tune, though, to know when good baby-making time is. This is my first month off the pill in like 10+ years (the Dr. promised it wasn't necessary to take any breaks - we'll see....) and I'm curious to know if my body knows what's natural or whether it's been confused for so long that it's going to take a while to sort itself out. If I were more in tune, maybe I would know. But for now I'm going to trust it. Good job, body, good job! We're still not even trying so it doesn't really matter. But I am curious....
