I just got this from my mum and found it really funny and wanted to share it. In this life I am a woman. In my next life, I'd like to come back as a bear. When you're a bear, you get to hibernate. You do nothing but sleep for six months. I could deal with that. Before you hibernate, you're supposed to eat yourself stupid. I could deal with that too. When you're a girl bear, you birth your children (who are the size of walnuts) while you're sleeping and wake to partially grown cute, cuddly cubs. I could definitely deal with that. If you're a mama bear, everyone knows you mean business. You swat anyone who bothers your cubs. If your cubs get out of line, you swat them too. I could deal with that. If you're a bear, your mate expects you to wake up growling. He expects that you will have hairy legs and excess body fat. Yep, gonna be a bear! Can anybody else agree with this.

I love it. I used to think I wanted to be a cow but now I am thinking a bear would be better. Heck just the fact that growling is expected is worth it*L* Thanks for the giggle this morning I need it!!

actually, i'd love to know what i'll return as. i went to see a fortune teller a way back. he asked me if i believed in reincarnation. i do. he asked me a series of questions. after this, he told me in a prior life i was " joan of arc ". i believe this for i am terrified of fire. i'd like to put my order in for a bear persona too.

oh joan of arc you may be my hero. Though a bear sounds too good to let go.

Mama Bear - Good choice to be a bear.
That was a great choice to be a bear in your next life... I have no thought of such a stuff ever of what I will be in my next birth... coz i'm not at all bothered about my next birth.

You could end up in a cage, or dance on the street of Moscow with a chain around you ancle. And all teeth pulled out too. Just a risk in this cruel world.

black bear - Going to come back as a grumpy black bear
Yep. Yep. Yep. Gona come back as grizzly ole black sow. Gona get away with growling in the morning if some one looks at me cross ways.. I’ll swat um if they speaks to early. It’ll be nice to not have to always be pleasant to every one for a change especially those that are not pleasant to me.

I would prefer to be a bird and will travel all over the world without visa and take rest at anywhere I like.I would like to build my Royal nest in Amazon forest as it is the darkest and deep rain forest in the world.It will be my original destination to hault that is my original contact address. My second destination would be the Australian wild forest.Than I would roam flying from continent to continent if I would be a bird in my next birth.
