Sentence question

Is this sentence correct, which I saw on Facebook:

My birthday was not a 'celebration of me'. It is a celebration of all the people I am lucky to know.

I am wondering about the first part 'celebration of me', which sounds a bit awkward. Is it grammatically correct and meaningful?

As near as you can get to "same" without saying the exact same words.
