How The Pandemic Change Some Peoples Lives for the Better
This post was inspired by the brother who started LifeisGood. The two brothers started their brand on the principle of “Rational Optimism”.

What is Good About This?
I know the title might trigger some people. However, I wanted to talk about quarantine and how it has changed our lives. Every single person has had to make changes to their lives in the wake of Covid-19. I wanted to share some of the good I’ve found during this pandemic.
Family Time
Companies started having their employees work from home. While this can be stressful, I have noticed some things. People having more time to be with their families, going on walks, bike rides, and getting outside. My neighborhood is packed with people exploring in the afternoon.
Cooking
I have been cooking all kinds of cool new recipes. Eating out less and having more time at home has caused a surge in home-cooked meals. Families, partners, and friends cooking together and enjoying each other.
Pets
My dog has been loving this. I take him on walks, to the park, we exercise and watch Netflix together. He is going to be very confused about why I am unable to spend that time with him when this is all over.
Here is my Dog Tax…
Just wanted to shed a little light on this awful situation we are in. Humans are supposed to evolve and adapt. We are doing that by changing our routines by working from home, virtual happy hours, drive-by birthday parties.
Soon we will all be able to gather together and continue to do the things we love.
