I bet everyone has one of these. If not, why not make one? What's in your happy box?

I thought I had one, it was called the "box of memories" but the things inside brought too many memories from my past. And those memories were hurtful. So I thought I would create a new one, fill it with things that make me happy / give me strength etc.

So here's a list of things stuffed into a shoebox that prevent Katie from going kaboom! Also, I'm moving out and I felt sad about it so I gathered these things to keep me strong once I move out.

- all my favourite dog figurines (i never liked dolls heh)
- CDs containing all the movies in the Saw film series. very inspiring for me at least What's in your happy box? and no i'm not going without a computer! What's in your happy box? just never going to happen.
- some seahorse-shaped things I have bought in 2005, reminding me of the seahorse jokes I had with my friends in high school.
- all the receits and train tickets I have from the day I first met my boyfriend
- all the receits and everything I have from the day we officially started dating What's in your happy box?
- pictures of my favourite pony Rosie, though I will never see her again. But I have moved on and one day I'll have a pony like her.

That is all. What do you have inside your happy box or plan to put in it if you don't have one yet?

What a lovely idea. I think I will start mine out with a braid from my horse's tail.

Positive threads need to exist to balance the... Well, not negative but maybe hurtful / triggering ones.

Ponies are great, what kind of was(is) yours?
