This is Day 39 of the Positive 100, a countdown to Rare Disease Day 2014 and an exercise in being positive despite it all.

Possibility. The world is full of it. What might be. What we are hoping for, what we are dreading. It is knowing that all things are possible that gives us hope. That lets us know that there might be a cure out there for us.

The possibilities that lie in the future are what give me something to dream about. There are an infinite number of ways that our lives can end up and there is no limit to where we can go.

Emily Dickinson said, “Dwell in possibility.”

It is in possibility that my feet are firmly planted. In the chance for a cure. The possibility of the end of pain. Or maybe even falling in love. I like it over here. Where hope and dreams are par for the course. Where the wonders of life are endless and where there is no life sentence for bad genetics.

Share the positivity on Twitter, Instagram and Google+ with the hashtag #100pI dsitivedays. Also, you can sign up to be emailed a recap each week of the challenge.
