Today's rune selections were Jera, Berkana, and Raido.

Jera is the rune of harvest, fertile season, and one year.  It indicates that the things I am committed to will have a beneficial outcome, just not immediately.  It reminds me that I need to care for the project by putting in time, energy, etc. to feed it and cultivate it so it will grow and make it to harvest.  Perhaps today's focus is on family and changing my relationship with my folks.  Trying to change it so we are on equal footings instead of a parent-offspring dynamic.

Berkana has been making a number of appearances lately.  Berkana is the rune of Prayer.  Its appearance is appropriate, especially if I am developing a different relationship with my folks.  It will be a challenge to alter a relationship that has been the way it has for long time.  Definitely a good time to ask for help from a Higher Power.  And, from the support group.  Which oddly enough, I heard from one of them today...

Raido is the rune of Harmony.  Harmony with self and Self.  Harmony with loved ones.  Harmony at work.  Today, my focus was on the self and Self.  Harmony at the core is very important, especially if you want to tackle a relationship.  I need to remember that just because I want to change something doesn't mean the other person(s) wants to change it as well...

Tonight's rune is a reoccurring visitor: Berkana reversed.  I am reminded to not place my wants before someone else's needs.  I am also reminded to not become discouraged.  Ask for help from a Higher Power.  Ask for help from people involved.  Ask for help from my support group.  The right action calls for me to Persevere and I will make progress.  Keep at it!  Pay the price...
