This is Day 50 of the Positive 100, a countdown to Rare Disease Day 2014 and an exercise in being positive despite it all.

We all get the blues. Some shades darker than others. They are a part of normal life. And most days the littlest things can cure them.

When I get the blues, I wear silly socks. Sometimes I pop in a playlist with some of my favorite songs. Or spend some time peering through the geek and humor sections on Pinterest.

It is the little things that help cure the blues and put smiles and smiles back on our faces. And some days silly socks are just the cure you need.

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.
