This is Day 23 of the Positive 100, a countdown to Rare Disease Day 2014 and an exercise in being positive despite it all.

Light. It can refer to hope. To god. To a flashlight. And all of those are useful. Today, though, I am talking about the hope kind of light.

“Happiness can be found in the darkest of places if one only remembers to turn on the light.” – Albus Dumbledore

Oh, Dumbledore. One of the wisest characters of my childhood. Darkness does not rule us. Sadness should not consume us. All hope is never lost. You can always turn on the light. Literal or metaphorical.

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