Safe boot suddenly enabled

Hello.


I have a Macbook Pro with Retina Display 13" without the force trackpad running Mac OS X 10.10.3 Yosemite. I was wiping my laptop's keyboard with a soft, damp microfiber cloth when I pressed the power button. I continued to wipe my keyboard thinking that nothing could go wrong...but something did! The boot time took longer than I expected, the login screen has the words "Safe Boot" in red lettering next to the battery percentage, Wi-Fi, and date and time, and my screen flashes.

Is there something wrong? Please help!

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

Nothing to worry about. This happens when you hold the Shift key during startup. Restart your computer to leave Safe Mode
