First Daily post of the New Year

I received runes from my friend for Christmas, they are extra special as she made them herself :) I am going to couple them with my daily card draw, to add extra insight and info.

Todays Card of the Day was The Lovers, the rune was algiz

The Lovers signifies new paths and the choices we make. Do we choose to follow the path to the things we love? Or choose the path that points towards a better career? Do we pick the easy path, or the more beneficial harder path?
The rune algiz is about protection, joined with the Lovers it is telling me that whatever path I choose to take today, I will be protected and all will be well.

End of day review:
I had a music lesson today, and we are coming to the end of my 'learn as you play' book. The big question is where to go after this? Do I learn a few 'proper' songs, which would be good, but limits the skills I will use & I'm worried I will lose or forget the rest? Or do I do more theory? Learning skills, but no long set pieces.
As I already have a music book of ballads with a 'play along' accompany CD, I think I will go for this option, I've had a little play with it already, but it would be great to be able to play the songs better.
The rune algiz points to protection in my choice, whatever I choose to do I will still be playing, and that is the most important point.
