It's fine..... Where the needle is in reference to the real temperature means nothing. Temp gauges are about the least accurate gauge on the dash board. Some cars are calibrated to show right in the middle when at full running temp, others show below half. So long as you're not significantly into the extremes you are fine.
If you were running too cold it would trip the check engine light, as all modern cars have thermostat temp sensors that are actually spot on accurate as the engine temp will affect fuel economy. Running even a few degrees too cool can lower fuel economy, so they now have thermostat temp sensors right at the thermostat and if engine temp goes down even a couple degrees more than it should you will get a check engine light before or instead of a coolant temp light.
