K is for Knight in Shining Armor.
Dear
Diary,
For K
I recommend : Knight in Shining Armor.
Someone
asked me how I imagine my knight in shining armour to be and I was stumped for
a minute. The immediate thought that popped in my mind was I’m no damsel in
distress to need a shining armor.
We
have all read stories where a damsel in distress is tied to a tree or locked in
a high tower and a knight in shining armour comes to save her, Following which they
drive off happily into the sunset.
I
believe a true knight does not always wear a metal armor but has a heart of Gold. He/ she
is one who helps somebody : a neighbor who volunteers to babysit, a friend who
gives you company even for the most boring trip, someone who volunteers their
shoulder for you to cry on and makes you smile, a good Samaritan who reaches
out in times of difficulty.
You
don’t necessarily need to know the person to be a knight in shining armor for
them. It’s the action that counts. Go be someone’s Knight today.

I like this idea of knights in everyday life. I believe I'm sometimes one.
ReplyDeleteThankyou. It's good to be a knight, continue the good work!
DeleteVery good idea, be a rescuer from something, but not necessarily danger. :)

Thankyou for your kind and encouraging words.
DeleteI think sometimes we could all use our own knight - even if only in metaphorical shining armour. :) But in general I'm no damsel in distress either. Still, now and then I could use a knight.
ReplyDeleteVery True Trisha. Sometimes we can use a Knight.
DeleteA different, non-romance perspective on a knight in shining armour. Thanks for the shift.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome Nana! Thankyou for visiting.

Thank You Sri! Haha well I hope he finds his direction soon:)
DeleteWonderful idea on what it means to be a knight in shining armour - a rescuer of others! I agree, it is something we can all do and be. Papa Bear is truly my knight in shining armour, he has all the qualities you mentioned, and so much more!
ReplyDeleteJosie, it's always a pleasure to read your comments. I'm so glad you found Papa Bear, he is a perfect gentleman and a true knight in shining armor.
