I like to think that I am pretty good at finding my silver linings. And smiling through the pain. Remembering to laugh.

But it would be a lie if I told you that I can do that all the time. That I can keep my head up on the days when my body wants to give up. Or that I don’t get anxious when I go out to eat. So, for the 100 days leading up to world Rare Disease Day in 2014, I am going to be doing something positive. Some days it might be a poster like I have been doing. Some days it might just be a positive thought. Some days it might be a photo. The one thing I do know, is that it will be 100 days of positivity.

You can sign up for updates and to join in (which would really be super swell). The hashtag is #100positivedays on Twitter & Instagram.

Here is the list of themes for the 100 days, starting November 20, 2013 and ending February 28, 2014 on Rare Disease Day.
