3 years job anniversary

Today is my 3 year anniversary of working in my current job. The company, that I went to work for, was 3 times smaller than it is now. The office in Kaunas occupied only one floor of two big rooms. Now it occupies 4 floors of entire building and there is a new office in Vilnius as well. Surely, the company has grown more than I did in those 3 years. I worked on bigger projects. I even learned totally new technologies that I never dreamed of (ok, they were there, but I couldn't imagine myself of using them someday). Many things, that I did experience, happened because I met new people in this company. It doesn't mean that I wouldn't have experienced them if I didn't come to work here - probably, I would have, only the path would have been different.
But I do feel a lot more confident at my work now than I did 3 years ago. Sometimes this confidence and comfort is frightening - we tend to become lazy and sleepy. I hope I have new challenges coming my way soon.

Atmostas Baltija, Bunda Jau Baltija, Ärgake Baltimaad

Today is the 26th anniversary of the Baltic Way - a chain of 2 million people holding hands from Tallinn to Riga from Riga to Vilnius. It was organized as a protest against Molotov-Ribbentrop pact which turned 50 in 1989 23rd of August. It was a peaceful protest which lead to my country's declaring of independence on the 11th of March in 1990 - just seven months after the Baltic Way. Of course, there was much more work involved in declaring it than gathering 2 million people to hold their hands for 15 minutes at 7pm. But it was a great moral boost to take further actions, to prepare for whatever sacrifice is necessary to gain our freedom. And freedom is a treasure, if you set out to look for it, that every participant gets a whole part of it. Way better than dividing a chest of gold.
I do recall some tv reports on this act, very hazily though. But every time I watch this clip and hear this song, I feel that freedom is one of the key elements of everyone's life.
