Near-death experience

So today I went floating down the river at Monkey Rock with some friends. I hadn't been there before, and didn't really know what to expect. And well, I don't think that was a good idea. You see...I accidentally took the raft that had a hole in it and the rapids were worse than I thought they were. In result, I got sucked under for a bit and it was really terrifying. Whenever this was happening I was thinking, "Am I really about to die? Is this my time to go?" ...What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger, right? And more terrified, of course. lol but although it was super dooper scary, I think it was a good experience. I also think I have a greater appreciation for my life now...not that I didn't have an appreciation before. I don't know why this happened, but I do know I'm okay, at least for now. I am still a little in shock from it. I am also a little iffy on going to places I have never been to before, or maybe just rivers. I guess I will see what comes from this. Anyways...I am very thankful for my life and all that I have. I'm thankful for my family and friends and love them all. I'm also thankful for Matt, who was attempting to swim back to help me. [:
