September 26, 2023 Scruples. A feeling of doubt or hesitation. I used it in a sentence this morning, \u201cI need to get my scruples together.\u201d My wife had never heard of the word. We all have feelings of doubt and face multiple chapters of hesitation. It has a name! We allow our modern selves to fall into these moments then attempt to wash them away through surfing the web or binge watching television. Daily writing helps me get my scruples together.
