Earlier this week, Elmo (whose birthday is today) asked this question on Twitter and got thousands and thousands of responses.

I found out about Elmo asking “How is everybody doing?” from people checking in during my Coping and Healing groups this week, where members discuss how they are doing. Somebody wondered why people they knew were being more open about their mental health, and somebody else speculated that it was because Elmo had asked, “How is everybody doing?”
Elmo discovered something I know from facilitating groups: if you ask “how is everybody doing?” and really want to know the answer, no matter what it is, people will respond honestly.
How is everybody doing as you look at my other images for today?


















I’m not sure how the Daily Bitch is doing, but I know how I’m doing: I’m relieved and grateful to have made it to age 71.
Here’s what I find when I search for “how is everybody doing?” on YouTube.

Thanks to all who are here for this how-is-everybody-doing post, including YOU.
