This is Day 32 of the Positive 100, a countdown to Rare Disease Day 2014 and an exercise in being positive despite it all.

Connection is how we make it in this life. Families, friends, loved ones. They are all connections. We make connections with everyone we meet. We are connected by shared experiences and shared beliefs.

I am connected to some amazing people. Friends and family. Coworkers. These connections provide support and comfort when I need it. They offer humor and camaraderie on a regular basis.

We are all connected. And we all keep each other positive.

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.
