Yep, that's how I think of these too.
Glad you and everyone are ok. I've only had one aborted takeoff (at MSP), and it was pretty startling, but then 2 seconds later you realize you're ground the ground and taxiing.
I've had a few aborted landings and one in particular, at ATL, was quite scary. Hearing the engines rev at what feels like 20 feet above the runway will make your heart skip a couple beats.
