Of course, I have to make deadlines at work occasionally and may have to put in the occasional hour, but that's a complaint, not what I call stress. I recall in Europe often pondering my future and trying to fit a round peg in to a square hole, getting stressed over money etc. I haven't been stressed for over 4 years, that includes a year back in the Uk when I was so happy to be coming back over here that I was also stress free - admitedly as I had given up all my commitments that year it was plainer sailing. 4 years! That's a long time to be stress-free. (!)
