A poll found life's top "little wins" that make us happy...

survey on life's "little wins" found the average person has something unexpected and good happen to them three times a week.  And the boost in happiness we get lasts 1 hour and 14 minutes.  Here are the Top 10 "little wins" we love most . . .

1.  Finding money in the pocket of an old coat.

2.  Waking up to nice weather.

3.  Getting an unexpected gift in the mail.

4.  Getting into a bed with fresh sheets.

5.  Traffic lights turning green as you're approaching.

6.  Watching the sun set.

7.  Crossing off the last thing on a to-do list.

8.  Completing a do-it-yourself project on your own.

9.  A winning lottery ticket, even if it's only a few bucks.

10.  Receiving a compliment from a complete stranger.

"Getting an extra hour in bed" just missed the Top 10 at #11.  And #12 is "when your favorite song comes on the radio."

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
