Good! Runestones are a dying art, I believe. What kind did you get? My set is Amethyst. My suggestion for starting off is to just "bond" with the energy of the runestone set. Put it under your pillow for a night or two of sleep. Stick your hand in the bag and just run your fingers through them. Once you feel as if you've done it so often that the energy of the stones feel like an extension of you, you've bonded really well and can begin the real work.
After bonding, my suggestion is to take time to know your rune meanings. There are many guides out there, in paper print and online, on the individual meaning of each rune. Take those not as fact, but as guidelines. Then take some time each day to draw a rune or two and see what they mean to you.

Just remember, runes are a tool given to us to connect our understanding of this world and the next. They're very personalized to us, you just gotta take the time to read them. Practice :)
