Do us a favour dude and switch the caps lock off please.
There are a number of error conditions that will result in the CEL being activated, but switched off again after three successful starts - and it sounds like this is what you've had.
It might mean that something's on its way out, or it might not. If you want to find out then, assuming you're driving the red blobeye shown in your avatar, you'll need to plug it into a Select Monitor/OBD2 tool/etc and see what the fault code is.
The bottom line though is that if you don't see the CEL come back on, the problem appears to have been temporary. All the same, better to know what it is than just assume under these circumstances.
