I am and trust you are too, Mrfredsporty: showing up. I appreciate your encouragement. Judging by the help you and others supplied, it feels like a very supportive and knowledgeable family here. I’m happy to be a part of it. Thank you.

Hi Loraine,

Thank you for the welcome, and your explanation helps. As I’ve become more familiar with the environment and taken pointers from other members, I no longer feel out of step. I’m able to enjoy the journey more as I begin to settle in to the routine. Had the jitters about keeping up but I think that’s passing. I’m trying to complete all of May’s lessons, though I started the second week. I look forward to every day’s learning and guitar playing. I appreciate your taking time to give me your insights. All the best.

Hi TerriG

Thank you for your kind words of welcome. I actually did start (and finished) the Vibrato challenge this week and stepped over to Ain’t No Sunshine too which I’ll finish this weekend. Even though I only saw your post today I appreciate your reassurance and guidance.

Hi again Tony, I think you’re right. Since I wanted a little structure and felt I was out of sync, I’ll start Monday as you say on that day’s and that week’s challenges and go from there. Thanks very much for helping me settle in. Cheers

Hey jumpinjeff,

Now my head’s spinning, but in a good way, a
Spinoza way. I didn’t foresee a metaphysical reply flying in. I appreciate your
dry rock philosophy: not seeing it doesn’t mean it’s there. Well said, sir. We
are on our own journey, and TAC is perhaps a cornucopia of seeds and jewels,
ways and sums. I’m always trying to figure out the mystery from facts, before
context is established. Thanks for reminding me to back off the magnifying
glass and catch the whole sunrise.

Hi Tony,

Thanks for your help here. I understand we have some latitude and choice as you say. Where I’m a bit wobbly is I started one of the daily challenge weeks on the wrong week, thinking I needed it to progress to the following week. I’ve completed 3 days (May 6,7,8 which I started on May 13. Today is May 15) I would like to finish the May 6 week I started and go on to the rest of the month. But the system seems to have updated me as having completed all 5 from last week and three from this week, which I haven’t. So I appear to be out of sync. I think. Does everybody do the same daily challenge, if they choose to do it, and is it marked completed even if you haven’t?
