rmdmany folks have talked about sending letters to their past selves.
apparently, this meme goes around in a big way in about 10 years, because i just got a letter from myself in 10 years.
some of the contents:
1. stick with it. really. it's better than not.
2. floss more.
3. be nicer to yourself.
4. keep yourself more open to new things.
4a. when you think things are sucking a lot, often it just means that you're operating with blinders on.

i am reminded of an interesting book i read, "Replay" (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/068816112X), where a guy ends up going back and waking up in his own body years before, several times. one thing that makes perfect sense is that eventually he figures out to memorize dates and flights for particularly bad plane crashes he might run the risk of being on.
